Enteprise Backup nee Networker bootstrap info

I have a way of storing this very important data but I let the machine do the work ...

I have a rotating sequence of these files one for each day of the week. I run the cron job on machines we have in other countries for added security. So if my server goes down or its media database is trashed I can quickly find out the latest bootstrap and on what tape to use to get the product up and running again.

I also query the media database about root /var etc backups for the server and its clients again to speed up recoveryif the database is down. If you have the client packages for a laptop you could run the report everytime you put your laptop on the network and know the information is safe.
