That's not really a story about a stupid secretary, it's a story about a stupid system admin. Stupid for not giving her proper instruction on HOW to do the backups. Stupid for not verifying that they were being done correctly. Stupid for trusting critical system backups to a secretary in the first place.
A couple of other good audio books as MP3's are Scott Sigler's EarthCore and Ancestor. He's been releasing them as a podcast, one episode a week. EarthCore is now complete, you can download the whole thing. Ancestor just started a few weeks ago. He went direct to podcast with these, and EarthCore generated enough interest that he got a book deal out of it. Dead tree edition is available in November.
