Except this is a disaster recovery plan: it must not rely on me being
available. I'm looking at a scenario in which the survivors of the disaster
have bought replacement hardware, hired someone who's done a bit of Linux,
and handed them a set of offsite backup tapes and a ring-binder. (I can get
most sites tapes offsite by 60+km on a daily basis: if a disaster
simultaneously takes out, for example, the city of Durban - at sea level,
population 3.5 million - and Pietermaritzburg, 80km inland and 750 metres
above sea level, I'm not sure restoring our backups is going to be the
biggest worry.)
