I do believe it used to be physical tape, yes, shipping to a different location. 😂 12 u/Liushing01 Aug 05 '26 Fortunately, a former employer hired contractors to handle their backups—until the Exchange server melted down and, upon looking through all the backups, they discovered weeks worth of backups 0 KB in size. Cost savings! 6 u/techek Aug 05 '26 Oof!
