0.o *mouth drops open* no way.... surely nobody would be that dumb... uh 
well.. then again.. I had a bloke tell me the other day (quite proudly I 
might add) that he uses 5x 512mb flash memory USB key's for his daily 
backups....

heh.. seen this one before... always ends up in tears. Also had a twit ring 
me up the other day saying that his backups haven't worked in over a week, 
and that it was our fault cause we installed it (don't worry that its been 
working fine for the last month and a half). When I got there I found that 
backup exec had an alert saying that it wanted tape "wed" and the guy had 
been swapping tapes for the last week without bothering to read WHY the 
thing was still waiting for last weeks tape.. (he had put the wrong tape 
in.)
