Well I'll be. Backup is a discipline to not be taken lightly by any organization, specially a government. Fire? This is backup 101: files should be backed up and copies should be physically apart to avoid losing data.

There are some in this threading pointing out that this would be handled by cloud providers. That bad - you can't hope for transparent backup, you need to actively have a discipline over it.

My fear is that our profession has become very amateurish over the past decade and a lot of people are vulnerable to this kind of threat.
