Floppy BackupsCheesyChimp reminded me of this sad tale:-
My ex used to run a small computer company back in the days of 5.25" floppies in the Midlands. They supplied hardware, software and support to small businesses. One particular company on the South Coast was having trouble with backups. Their main user had been trained in the procedure and had been talked through backup and restore over the phone with no problem, only for to call the next day saying "The system still is not right". So a site visit was arranged later that day. Upon arrival the disks were requested. "They're on the filing cabinet". There they were - held in place with a large magnet.
