It could be worse. Our campus filestore has gotten so big so fast that the
backup technology installed couldn't keep up. At one point, it was taking
25 hours to do one day's backup, so *recovering* anything was not an option

Unfortunately, I don't have a basement. Wish I
did, I'd have more space
for classic computers :-)...

someone's
WinNT box,
coaxing its 5-gig Travan cart tape backup unit to
retrieve one 13K file, and that took about three hours total
But if what I find when I leave my machine room and get into the 'real
world' is machines running Lusedoze that take 3 hours to recover one 13K
file (heck, my calculator is faster than that), then I am not sure I want
to 'get out more' :-)
