Abstract:
When a 2004 backup tape for a Cassini instrument testbed was needed in late 2005 to restore important files, it was discovered that a coding error in the backup script had been causing the backup files to be overwritten and the backup data to be lost. Do not assume that critical data backups are being properly performed, but assure that a computer system administrator familiar with both the script and the backup hardware verifies the actual performance of the backups.
