I would hope that before the system was shipped anywhere, that a set of backups was taken and verified, and saved elsewhere. Otherwise, any loss / damage to the system could destroy the decades of work represented by that system.

I don't know what the EISNER:: hardware is these days. It was a MicroVAX II with RA8x's when I received it, and when it left my site it was a DS20 with a TL891 library. I did the initial migration to Alpha and haggled with the powers that be to get decent hardware (the DS20 and library) instead of the junk they tried providing. I believe it collected an InfoServer somewhere along the line, along with additional external disk shelves.
