The best one I had was a two tape backup that was done releigiously everyday. 
After many months of backups, they were fiinally needed.


"None of these backups are any good. How are they made?"

"Well we have to change tapes half way through, so instaead of waiting for the 
computer to ask for the second tape, we let it run for a while and then take out 
tape 1, put in tape 2 and go home. It is always finished in the nmorning."\

"How long hanve you been doing it this way?"

"Oh, about six months."

"Bugger!"
