Dennis, it's a matter of faith. If validation tells me that I can restore from
the tape, I'll wrap the tape in magnets, to protect it from the solar flares,
and deposit it into a fire-proof file cabinet. You must have faith into your
backup process and backup validation increases faith. If God can chose a president,
we must trust it that it will also preserve our backups. Restores are only a sign
of insufficient faith which may cause you to be left behind and not experience
the rapture with the rest of us who will be taken to dice.com
