 Tommi, I used to work away on a 4 week rotation and was the Fidonet feed for
the Philippines because I was trialing the first cable modem setup there and I
think my system went down maybe twice in about 5 years, as I said shit
happens. There was no plan B as I was the only one with a cheap connection so
no choice.

There is no requirement to have a backup system nor should there be as so
many things could happen while one is away and no one can plan for all.

One of the 4 big banks in Australia recently went down and their customers
were no able to make transactions or withdraw money from an ATM, there plan A
to Z failed.
