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... Anywhere that I can use 
PayPail would be great because my corporate fcard got stolen (which 
reminds me i should call HR and get that fixied up someday)
