    Next up is getting the scientific instruments back out of safe mode.

    Backups do work?

      mmm... legitime question: should it not be redundant instead of backup hardware? Or does "redundant" imply simultaneity and "backup" imply replacement?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Good question. I often see them used interchangeably, but I suspect your idea is correct. Redundant would be two (or more) running at the same time (like they did on the Shuttle), and backup is the spare tire you bring up as needed.

          Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again ?

          Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Maths is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.
