    No one can hack it? Yeah right, until someone stuffs some firmware into the ethernet driver that reverses the RX and TX lines.

    And they would install this firmware on the PLC how?

    Offtopic? Come on, this is a tasteful comment about a (geek) woman's appearance on a site full of mostly straight (geek) dudes. It is very much on-topic.

    Male sexuality is not wrong, being a gross douchebag is wrong. They're not the same thing. Everytime you go PC-overkill a racist conservative smiles and chuckles, happy that you're proving him right and hastening the arrival of the day that he can openly express his racism once more!

  20. Re:Tape? Not here... on Why Do Companies Backup So Infrequently? · · Score: 1

    It is possible to do cloud backups while keeping them secure. You use an encrypted container on the remote filesystem that you mount on a local machine and then push the backups through that. The key never leaves your office. Even if someone can get access to the files and RAM contents of the remote system it wouldn't help them, they'd have to crack the encryption on the container.

    Not that I think cloud backups are so useful anyways.

    NTFS permissions are a biiiitch >_<

    The only things you can back up to that preserve them are:

    1. An NTFS disk plugged directly into the computer
    2. An NTFS filesystem container
    3. A network share on an NTFS disk that supports NTFS permissions.

    Either that or you take a raw binary image of the disk (DUMB) or use a proprietary backup system which is just using a proprietary container format anyways (DUMBER).

    So this was on a server that you couldn't take offline? And you didn't back it up for 15 years?

    YDI.

    If you could take that disk offline there are many tools that could recover the files, but if it's been running this whole time the data has probably been overwritten.
