Don’t They Teach Backup in School These Days?

September 3, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The Ur-Guru pointed me to this sad post on Refreshing News: A Calgary man is desperate to get his stolen laptop, with years of work on it, back. It was stolen from the trunk of his car while he went for a run in Edworthy Park Wednesday night. John Boldt is pleading for the return of his hard drive, which contains research and notes for the thesis he was writing for his master’s degree … [Read more...]

Why You Need Your Own Website Backups

March 11, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch 4 Comments

I was listening to Marketing Over Coffee a few weeks ago and heard a sad tale of woe from co-host John Wall. His blog, Ronin Marketeer, was down for four days. Hosed, in fact. Literally. On February 20th, there was an an accident during the annual inspection of the fire-suppression system at WestHost’s data center. If you rewrite WestHost’s account of the incident in the active voice, it amounts … [Read more...]

The headline in TechCrunch read “T-Mobile Sidekick Disaster: Danger’s Servers Crashed, And They Don’t Have A Backup.” Jason Kincaid, author of the TechCrunch article, was absolutely scathing on the subject: This goes … [Read more...]

You Know That One About Human Error?

March 20, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I woke up at 2 AM this morning. Don’t ask why, because I haven’t the faintest idea, but there I was. Since by 3:00 it was clear I wasn’t going to get back to sleep, I turned on the computers and attempted to be productive.
