How far we’ve come (and how far we still need to go)
Take backup, for instance. Back when I started my career 30+ years ago, part of my IT role was performing backups overnight for a large company in London. I remember carrying boxes of tapes all the way down Oxford Street to a secure location. I used to wonder how long it would take to recover from an outage if one occurred. So many elements would have to work perfectly including physically transferring the tapes back to the datacenter, loading the data then getting all the applications and systems operational. Would the process work, how long would it take, what could go wrong, had we identified and mitigated all the potential risks? In the years I worked in that role, I don’t recall anybody ever testing the backup & recover process! https://community.hpe.com/t5/Transforming-IT/Modernize-IT-Operations-Meet-HPE-Datacenter-Care/ba-p/7022078#.W_QaItUzapp
