Backup All the Way

Rebecca Salie over at i365 (which used to be EVault) sent this to me today, and I couldn’t resist posting it here. The scansion is a little off here and there, but it’s a noble attempt.

With a nod to James Lord Pierpont who wrote the original Jingle Bells in 1857, I hope you enjoy this parody.

Dashing through the ether
Our backup is secure,
Quickly it completes,
Compliant for sure;
Backup’s easy now,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to cut our costs
And still be safe tonight.
IT yells, Backup jells,
O happy is today!
O what fun it is to know
My data’s here to stay.

A day or two ago,
Our servers all went crash,
New backups are in place
Restoring was a blast;
The time was short indeed;
Misfortune to be stopped;
Over-the-wire restores,
It sure does hit the spot.
IT yells, Backup jells,
O happy is today!
O what fun it is to know
My data’s here to stay.

Backups are compliant,
Centrally managed too,
Rapid restoration
And encryption all for you;
Multiple locations,
All types supported too,
EVault Data Protection
Means backups are for you.
IT yells, Backup jells,
O happy is today!
O what fun it is to know
My data’s here to stay.
