Week 2
Assignment
Write
a short paper (1 to 2 pages) comparing and contrasting the various approaches
to data backup and data archiving.  What are appropriate considerations
with respect to cost, recovery time, and protection against various
threats.  Make sure to cite all references. 
In
this assignment, demonstrate that you can think deeply about the topics that we
are covering.  Therefore, if you find yourself simply regurgitating
material from the readings, then you are likely missing the point.  The
readings (and the reading quizzes) deal with a lot of terms and definitions.
In this homework assignment, try and tie those terms and definitions
together, think about them more holistically, and reason about the
relationships between them. 
Your
submission should be written in paragraph form with an introductory paragraph,
at least a paragraph covering each incident, and a conclusion.  Your
descriptions should be full sentences and not just bullet-points
