Home lost in Palisades fire

With the number of data breaches happening, it's only a matter of time until taking files off computers takes off.

I have an idea for a business where we go into offices that are digitized and convert all their digital files to paper. Set up their filing cabinets, train their staff, typewriters, analog phones the whole 9 yards.

There is actually talk in the compliance/security side of our industry about requiring offline storage of certain types of PII.

Requiring offline servers on closed networks. Or using a harddrive that you physically connect to when storing PII.

But there are a lot of logistical issues with that. Especially in the day and age of e-apps. It would require a lot of restructuring of very established processes.

These fires have me thinking of this.

A couple of years ago you and a couple others helped me out with portable hard drive backup suggestions. For my cloud storage.

I store the HD a few miles away at my son's house. Incase of fire.

Now I am thinking a copy to my East Coast son wouldn't be a bad idea.

I have enough Burbon in the event both Coast go up.

And then they can sue you when their records are destroyed in a fire.
(That is not a resume enhancing career action.)

Please tell what legal liability someone has for this? I would love to know….

If I keep all my receipts as paper can I sue the companies that provided them because they didn't give me digital ones?

Are you an attorney?

Anyway back to the topic at hand. Gonna be a rough week here in Southern California. We have another Santa Ana event coming through this week with 45-70mph winds and humidity at about 5%.

Fireproof safe inside of a larger fireproof safe, built into a concrete slab in the ground.

But that is the business idea right there. Hard storage for hard drives, duplicated in multiple locations across the US.

The 2025 version of the bomb shelters or safe rooms of the 50s.

In @Al3x Lee Defense, he doesn't need a resume.

Resumes need him as a reference

Put it in the lock box like Al Gore suggested for Social Security. Between that and him inventing the internet, that dude should go down as one of the best people to ever win a presidential election

That's what happens when you run out of hanging chads.
