	Is my data safe?

Solution Oh yea! We are either gifted (or cursed) with two funny characters on our staff that get a bizarre 'rush' out of excessive redundancy. Redundancy is how many instances of the same data you have. Either money burns a hole in their pockets or they just like the added security but these two have quite the setup of redundant servers going on.

For example:
When you make a new post it isnâ€™t just stored once, it will be stored on a MySQL server with RAID (keeps copies of each bit of data on extra hard drives), then instantly passed on to a replication server (which also has RAID), then archived on a backup server (you guessed it, with RAID), then passed along to an 85lb locking steel-cased replication server (with RAID over four massive hard drives) which sits right next to the desk of our CEO. The steel case itself is hard enough to move but without the key from our CEO a blistering 120dB PCI alarm goes off inside the locked case if one tries to move it.
