DriveSavers Answers Your Data Recovery Questions

February 27, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch 3 Comments

If your hard drive fails and you don’t have up-to-date, functioning backups, you call in the data recovery experts. It’s kind of like sending your drive in for emergency surgery—down to the sterile environment the engineers have to operate in. Chances are, your drive is dead for good, but it might be possible to give your data a new lease on life. On February 16th I received an invitation to … [Read more...]

Lessons from the Demise of Journalspace

January 9, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

If you’ve never heard of journalspace, don’t feel bad—I hadn’t either until it popped up in my Google Alerts for “Backup.” My ignorance notwithstanding, the blog hosting company had been around for 6 years and had 14,000 visitors each month. Now all those blogs have vanished, with the bloggers left struggling to retrieve their posts from the Google cache if they didn’t have backups of their … [Read more...]

Data Disasters: Did You Forget Your Mobile Workforce? FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 08-15-08

August 17, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The Ur-Guru and I have just returned from a week of Extreme Tourism in Chicago. He took 28 GB of photos. Each night he copied them all from his camera’s 8 GB Compact Flash card onto the two portable hard drives he’d brought along. (One serves as the original, one as the backup, and then he clears off card so he can take more pictures.) We also fixed my father’s wireless router, so there’s wi-fi in … [Read more...]

Putting the Humor Back in Backups: FileSlinger(TM) Backup Reminder 05-23-08

May 23, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Is this the late-late-early show or the early-early-late show? Looking at my calendar and asking myself what the chances are that I'll manage to write a second column by Friday (when I have to get up at 4:30 AM to get ready for the BACN meeting at 7:30 AM), I decided just to post-date this and send it out now. Last week TechTarget sent me a link to an “e-zine.” I don't know why they called it … [Read more...]

I’m Crushed: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 05-02-08

May 4, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I thought I knew what I was going to write about for this week's reminder. A few days ago, someone contacted me (through the Podcast Asylum, natch—perhaps I need to make my FileSlinger™ e-mail address easier to find on the Backup Blog) to ask about online backup, which has been the theme of the past couple of weeks. The specific problem, however, involved an intersection of factors I don't know … [Read more...]
