February 19, 2006 -- He feels like it's a total eclipse of his art.
The Grammy-winning producer who penned the No. 1 song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is suing a gargantuan data-storage company for $20 million, claiming it lost "priceless" original recordings. Jim Steinman claims Boston-based Iron Mountain Records Management Inc. lost the tape recordings of the 1983 Bonnie Tyler hit, as well as "Left in the Dark" performed by Barbra Streisand in 1984.
Steinman, who filed suit on Valentine's Day in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, says they are "irreplaceable."
"For a composer, it's like losing the Mona Lisa," said Steinman, who wrote Meat Loaf's hit record "Bat out of Hell" and shared a producer Grammy for Celine Dion's "Falling into You."
Steinman gave the tapes to Iron Mountain in August 2004. They were to be locked in an upstate mountain facility. But Steinman says they may have been misplaced in a New Jersey warehouse. "They say, 'We're a mighty fortress on a mountain where nothing can happen,' " he said.
"Meanwhile, a couple schmucks from New Jersey show up."

Say no to third parties physically transporting your back-up tapes
Storage in the Enterprise Newsletter
By Mike Karp, Network World, 05/10/05
In an era that has elevated the visibility of identity theft and
suggests that a company's data represents the majority of its corporate
assets, we are tempted to ask ourselves just how stupid does an
enterprise have to be to trust its data - on unencrypted back-up tapes,
no less - to a third-party that is capable of losing the tapes? And
what human being is not capable of such an error? Or worse.
If you think you have a good method for off-site storage for your
backups and archives, this might be the time to remind yourself about a
chain being as strong as its weakest link.
What is the weakest link in your "back-up chain"? It might be a truck driver, or some guy on the loading dock with his hands
on a tape full of unencrypted data that could put your business out of business.
