Marvin,
this is a good point,a nd one people often forget. Just saving the data on
its own is often not enough, you also have to save the application , and the
OS.
In a Windows/Linux environment, this is where VMware can help because you do
not necessarily have to keep the hardware around. For other OS', then
sometimes you do. It depends on how backwards compatabile the OS is with old
code, or the hardware with an old version of the OS

How do you recover data from 10 years ago? For example, how would you
get data out of a an oracle 6 database?
you would have to have the appropriate application, hardware to run it
on etc.
I'm not trying to be funny, we have requests to do this also.
