This plan is lunarcy - Security - Technology

When I moved some of the content from a previous blog I move the stuff I wanted to keep and archived the rest to some PDFs.

The other day I got the idea to revisit and update some of them so on days when I’m light on for thoughts I might put some of these together.

Ooooops not a good start so far.

Found the guys who were running this program over at http://lifeboat.com/ex/programs and although I was worried that Moon based DR might not be going forward as a priority there are lots of other Programs current and planned that could provide blog fodder for quite some time.

Wow I might have to create a category as some of this seems off the wall but nice to think about…

Now I thought my customers had big expectations for their offsite requirements. Check this out.

IF YOU think your organisation is savvy because it has an offsite data warehouse, spare a thought for William Burrows' plan to store life's blueprints - on the moon.

The journalism professor and former New York Times' space reporter's dream to back up the world's DNA to a site on the lunar surface would read like science fiction if it wasn't for the fact that the general idea is supported by the likes of Stephen Hawking, five Scandinavian prime ministers and a British group compiling a genetic
database of endangered species.

Mr Burrows devised the disaster plan with Robert Shapiro, professor emeritus and senior research scientist in biochemistry at New York University, in the 1999 book A Lunar Sanctuary. From there, they formed the Alliance to Rescue Civilisation (http://arc-space.org), which has attracted scientists and thinkers.

So that would be quite some DR project, how do we keep the DR Site up to date? What are our RPO and RTO? I'm thinking the replication across the wide area might be a little behind during
high rate of change situations.
