Hmmm - that's a bit beyond my requirements :-). I heard a talk given by
an ex-IBM'er some time ago, who worked with airline reservation systems.
Apparently they never did backups, as they'd worked out that in the
event of total data loss, the company would go bankrupt before the
system could be restored, so it wasn't worth the bother. They were very
keen on HA though...
