I was on the phone one day (more than a decade ago) with a "suit and
tie guy" from Washington, D. C.
ST: "All the servers will be brought to Central Office"
Me: "That is, right now about 100 servers or more and growing." Who
will manage them?"
ST: "We will."
Me: "So! I need to call you to "re-boot" the server?"
Centralization never happed!

And NYC built its emergency command center in the World Trade Building.#7
(across the street from WTC-1 & WTC-2).
Oh well.

A bunch of years ago I stood outside my burning apartment building,
thinking three things.
1. I got out (so did everybody else).
2. I have replacement cost insurance.
3. I backed up all my important files (on floppies back then) and
stored them at my parents' house-- did this every couple of weeks...
Everything other than data is just property that can be repurchased.
(by 'data' I include family photos-- back then on film but today it's
all on the PC anyway).

Family and friends are a good place for off-site storage of a (now)
DVD/CD.. A bank with safety deposit box is another location.
