Considering the chemical plant explosion in Tianjin, is it necessary to create disaster recovery backups for some of the records in the control system?

After the explosion in Tianjin, many things in the core area were destroyed. What do you think – is it necessary to keep backup copies of the operation records of chemical plant control systems and key alarm records in another location, so that these can be used to analyze the accident once it occurs?
I think it is necessary to carry out off-site disaster recovery backups.
It is extremely necessary to keep real-time updates and tracking not only of process controls, operations, alarm records, etc., but also of information such as the storage locations, quantities, names, and properties of hazardous chemicals in the entire warehouse! This information can be used not only for post-incident analysis to serve as a warning to everyone, but also to guide rescuers in carrying out targeted rescue efforts and reducing unnecessary casualties!
It is best to have disaster recovery backup data in a different location
Cloud backup can be considered, but data confidentiality must be ensured!
It’s really necessary! ! ! ! ! ! !
