My first job out of college was a hybrid computer operator /programmer for a company that ran a state lottery. This was the mid 90s. They had a complete backup site with redundant servers, modems (for point of sales systems) and a redundant staff because the cost of being down was so high. We never had to use the backup site the entire three years I was there.
