Now instead of losing a yellow folder, a system will lose 1 million people’s records all at once.

Aren’t school vaccines registered with the state? Given how many parents cannot keep records, I am surprised the solution would be “get them again”.

Offsite backup needs to always be the answer. Fires have always been a concern in any human situation. Plus lots of other accidents.

Of course the real hard part is how do you mark a record as do not restore anymore. In a medical context this isn't much a problem, but in other cases it is an issue.
