Backup could have saved avsim.com
AVSIM.COM was launched in 1996. In one hack, they have lost everything from then to now. Why did this happen? The owner said they did backups but in the form of mirroring two servers. When the hackers took over both servers, it destroyed this system of backup. In this case an offsite or even OFFLINE backup would have sufficed.
Removable hard drives, DVDs, even old tape backup can’t be compromised over the internet.
I’m sure they’ll have full community support to get those lost 13 years back.
