Quote #4

It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BOFH, however, does have it's advantages. I reassign null to be the tape device-it's so much more economical on my time as I don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every 5 minutes. And it speeds up backups too, so it can't be all bad can it? Of course not....Meantime backups have finished in record time, 2.03 seconds. Modern technology is wonderful, isn't it?
