Has anyone considered the following type of scenario:

It is September 1, 2009. A letter arrives from the Sales Tax Department of
[insert your favorite] State. They wish to perform an audit of you sales
tax collections for 2006. Your back-up tapes are sitting safely in some
off-site storage facility, but where will you restore these files? What
software will you use to create the reports required to satisfy this audit
request? What staff will you have with the skills to use this data? etc.
