Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Disaster Recovery Concepts:

Recovery time objective (RTO): maximum time to restore system function.
Recovery point objective (RPO): maximum age of data needed to resume operations.
Recovery consistency objective (RCO): how many inconsistent entries are allowed in recovered data.
Sierra Madre objective (SMO): We don't need no stinkin' backups.

Get disaster insurance, wait for failure, collect a big c-suite payout and move to the next company.

Everyone else gets to find new exciting jobs.

My favorite is places that don't want to allocate time or resources to testing disaster recovery.
