Thieves can take your on-site backup
News Story:
Movie producer and writer Francis Ford Coppola (famous for films such as the
Godfather trilogy) fell victim of theft. He lost computers and his backup
device. The value of those was relatively small compared to the data stored on
them. He
apparently lost files created over a span of 15 years, including writings and
photographs. He has made a public appeal to the thieves to return the backup
device.
