A tape, a tape, my kingdom for a tape
Oct. 5th, 2005 02:11 pmToday's crisis is a shortage of tapes.
I have a backup server. It eats LTO1 tapes. I have run out. I put in a request for more, on monday last week. It's not arrived, I suspect more due to our purchasing dept being crap than any problems with the supplier.
So I have no backup tapes to feed my server. And it's HUNGRY.
It is bad juju to leave a backup server hungry. It sulks, and doesn't do backups.
But hey, why should I care? I mean, it's not like I'll get to deal with irate people wanting to know PRECISELY WHY we don't have the files that they urgently need from this date.
No, really...
