Tough or impossible to answer, IMHO. What constitutes a failure? If
you can understand the answers to that question, you may be able to
answer your own question.
Is a single file failure, a failure?
Is a missed schedule a failure?
Is having a scheduled backup for a file space start and complete on
different days a failure?
Is having a backed up file space not backed up for n days a failure?
Is failing to move all data n hours (days) old offsite a failure?
Is backing up 10-20G per night, every night, from a desktop a failure?
Is a failure related to an enterprise-critical server more of a failure
than a failure on a "non-critical" desktop?
Are all failures client failures, or are there server failures?
Is wanting to restore a file copy that is not on the backup server a
failure?
Is keeping a tape pool at 95% instead of 60% reclamation level a
failure?
