The example of the World Trade Center is a good one. I think it should stay unless it is replaced with another concrete example of the need for "really off-site" backups. If you want to reword it to make it less blunt, that's fine too. It's disturbing to think about the events of September 11, but anyone who feels that fault tolerance and disaster recovery is important would be a fool not to study this incident and learn from it. Bruce. PS. I'd guess off-hand that someone wrote the text in question *after* September 11, otherwise the sentence wouldn't make much sense in context.
