I was asked the question “Do you have the program for this PLC?”
Answer “Yes, on one of my laptops”
Scene – Laptops being plugged in and booted up, I bugger off to get a cup of tea to drink while I search for this program.
I come back with my cup of tea and sit at my desk and start searching
After 30 minutes of frantically searching both laptop hard drives, deliver the answer “well I have not got the program on either of my laptops, but I should have it on my backup machine”. (Note: I went through the stages of religiously backing up all data twice a week, well at least I used to!)
Turn backup PC on, wait for BIOS to load then get the following message:
‘DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER’
Oh Sh**, one hard drive gone to hard drive heaven and the bloody thing took all my data with it!!
Why oh why did we have to invent the bloody computer and PLC’s, things were much easier with relay logic (or were they?)
I feel a bit better now that I have got that off my chest.
So the question is when do we stop backing up back ups to prevent this sort of thing happening again!
