Often, there will be users who would complain that BE upset their carefully thought out tape naming scheme by using a tape not intended for that backup. For example, a daily backup job taking a tape from the weekly media set or Monday's backup data ...

员工“A”正坐在计算机边把弄磁力超强的磁铁，旁边的一堆硬盘呼呼作响。在不远处，一台好端端的 19 英寸监视器被动地等待着荫罩遭到磁化后被永久弃用的命运。人们绝不会认为您有意这么做，而我们的员工可能就在这么做。 不过，从理论上讲，您如今可以在距离计算设备很近的位置十分安全地挥动一块手能握得住的旧钕铁磁铁，您觉得这样做安全吗？别忘了，磁场强度与距离的立方成正比，大约随距离的增加而减弱。这个近似值无疑会让人生畏，不过却相当有用。这确实意味着，相当小的磁铁对计算机不会产生不良影响。弹球大小的任何磁铁...
某員工正坐在那裡玩超強神奇磁鐵，旁邊電腦裡的一堆硬碟也跟著呼呼旋轉。不遠處，有一台很不錯的19 吋螢幕正耐心地等著，當它的彩色映像管遮蔽屏受到磁力的干擾時，就會永久損壞。這些他們都知道不該做，但我們的員工卻有可能正在這麼做。 雖然理論上而言，以今日的技術，您可以拿著捏碎的永磁鐵非常靠近運算裝置不停揮動也還是很安全，但是，您確定嗎？畢竟，磁場強度在很短的距離外就會消失。當然，這是一起可怕的「空中接近」事件，但還是對我們很點幫助。意思就是，非常非常小的磁鐵不會對電腦造成任何不良影響，而如果像彈珠...
