This article brought back memories. When discussing disaster recovery with developers, they said we would just rebuild the application server from source control. I then asked what if you installed a malicious program that deleted all of our data? They said that's the DBAs problem. The DBAs said (at the time) we have so much data our "backup" consisted of swapping out our EMC SANs. So if we lost of our data, the other SAN contained last week's data. At the time, there was not realistic backup other than manually syncing the SANs and trucking the copy to a safe location. Today, now with DevOps, recovering lost data is also the developer's problem.
