Duh — #blockchain will negate the need for database backups. Fundamentally changing disaster recovery.

I don’t now why it took so long for this to occur to me. That whole distributed ledger, everything is automatically backed everywhere…completely eluded me until yesterday. Where has my business continuity planning and receovery brain been?

I was chatting with www.owo.world database administrator and he was telling me why when people went to buy #owocoin they should follow the directions for an #ethereum smart contract. Because…!!! Once its on the blockchain it’s always on the Blockchain. As opposed to the website, whose db can be corrupted, altered or fail. Blew my mind. Something so obvious and it never occurred to me. Sometimes the future is staring you right in the face and you don’t even see it. #lessonlearned #disasterrecovery
