And I'm shocked. The whole internet relies on the organization which clearly says: 14:00 Discovery that backups are not available
How this is possible ?
Often, when data is reproducable, it's not a requirement to backup the data if the original inputs are backed up. All a backup would do is speed up time to recovery, as it's always possible to regenerate the data from input. Yes, in this case speed of recovery was important, and those backups would have helped, but I don't think it's fair to come to the conclusion that RIPE doesn't hold backups. Simon
