Mac OS X Leopard Time Machine Vs. NASA Moon Tapes: a tale on backup policy

Strange days…
The same week Apple announces the truly innovative Mac OS Leopard’s Time Machine, an automatic backup and file rollback system like nothing, NASA seems to have lost some valuable data or, at least, seems unable to find some tapes.

Slashdot reports and links an australian news site.

Apart from bad press for NASA (which it doesn’t deserve), maybe it’s time for any organization to consider very loooong time backup and storage policies, isnt’it?
