On the fourth day, God said “Where are the backups kept?”

And lo, the minions around him replied “Backups, Lord?”

And God said “Yes. Backups. You know, of this highly confidential and business critical data that you’ve got on this server. You do have backups don’t you?”

“Ah. Well, the thing is…” responded the humble and sheepish looking server administrator dude, ” the thing is, actually we don’t. But what we once didn’t know we now know and this is all down to your wonderous and mighty wisdom and knowledge.”

“Are you taking the piss sonny?” frowned God, “Because if you are, you’re going to get a lightning bolt shoved so far up your arse your nostril hair will catch fire!”

“Not at all, Lord. I mean it. I beseech thee to be calm in thy infinite patience and other biblical sounding phrases that I might use to try and placate your anger and disappointment.”

“Oh,well, in that case…”, said God, “Let there be backups!” And there were backups and a regular data backup schedule. And God saw that it was good.

On the Fifth day, God said “I suppose there’s absolutely no point in asking you about SOX and compliance, is there?”

“Compliance, Lord?”
