: "The tape was being carried by a commercial carrier ... and was lost in 
: transit," said Ron Sommer, at the bank's Downtown offices. "It was

The amount of data loss incidents due to backup media being lost in

losing the data like this. 

I want to see the data and determine if a specific carrier or service is 
primarily at fault here if that is where the blame lies.
