Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened. I’d get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.
If you
understand what it is you’re replacing, what you’re replacing it with, and how to use the replacement
then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.
A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you’re no longer a beginner at that point.
That is a distinction without a difference. Either way the once accessible data can no longer be accessed any longer.
