Data Loss example

[Peter Hiscocks]

One of my colleagues lost an important document because it was stored in a
USB key. The key cap had a ring which attached to the rest of her keys, but
the body of the USB key could and did depart, leaving the empty cap behind.

Number of backup copies? 0.

Apparently, some USB keys have the attachment ring on the body of the key.
In retrospect, that seems like a Better Idea.
