Investing in a _good_ fireproof data safe isn't expensive compared with the cost of the other equipment ($500-$7000, depending on requirements) A fully certified one can handle 2 hours at 1200C, survive a drop of 10 metres and then another hour burning and 24-48 hours cooldown without the internal temperature exceeding 60C Check out http://www.phoenixsafeusa.com/ As a matter of policy: Your backup equipment should be isolated from the rest of the data centre, preferably in a separate building and at least in a separate room with its own fire supression setup. I know this isn't always practical but it's something you should shoot for when setting things up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
