That's definitely the most funny stuff I've been reading for a long time - keep it up Bill :-) /Jakob -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Billy B. Bilano Sent: 14. januar 2008 20:57 To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: PLS help with grouped policies for my audit!!! Scottie, Thanks mucho for the reply on my "best" practices querstion! Evern though my main question is about groupr polices, I think this clears up what I suspected after some smart researching I did on wickypediar! However one thing did prick my ears up a bit when I read it because it may mean I am not doing something "best"... So if I can run this old chestnut by you again... You said one good example for disaster recovery would be to test backups and keep documentations... That being said, what if: a. I don't keep backups because they are too hard to deal with and only introduce discovery problems when certain goverment bodies who oversee my industry come-a-knockin (like a certain fed chairman that shall remain nameless to keep me blameless!! if you catch my wind LOSLSL) b. as i said if I document everthing then that means my job becomes less important to the bank and that could open the door up to fire me!!! i got two kids and a wife to feeder! So is there a way that i can still call that I am doing "best practices" to the auditors??? I need some spin here!!! (maybe I can call this "adequate" practices maybe?) Let me know as soon as possible!! and I have a burrito in the cooker on this and if I leave it in for too long it's gonna spurt beans and beeff all over my face and lap and chest!!! THANKS, BUDDY! P.S... My bloglog beckons your attention!!! <http://www.bilano.biz/> PS.S.S: I am still looking for those SAS-70s...
