Brings back memories... rebuilding a Unix sys-V database disk that had
been burnt (The machine went on fire!) It had vital data for a
haulage firm (Where all the goods and trucks where); the backup
QIC tapes had been stored on top of the machine.

Marvelous fun :-)

The story I heard about the Crédit Lyonnais [Paris] fire was that they
send some [bunch of] sysadmin[s] in to get the tapes while the building
was burning ...

Then, they found out the safe deposit boxes weren't waterproof ...
