Plugged into the Cloud with CTERA

December 22, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The first time I saw an announcement for the CTERA CloudPlug, I was puzzled. “Cloud-Attached Storage” is a catchy phrase, but what did it mean? Could I just plug the device into a wall socket, connect it to my computer, and send my data into the cloud? So naturally when CTERA’s PR agency offered me a chance to examine the CloudPlug, and interview a representative of the company, I said yes. … [Read more...]

Backups on the Run

September 28, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I spent last week bouncing around between conferences and meetings, which meant there was no time to review any new backup software, but all that zipping back and forth with the netbook and the iriver (does anyone else hate it as much as I do when companies refuse to capitalize their brand names) gave me plenty of opportunities to make backups and to think about backups.

August 29, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

A few days ago I got a phone call from my BFF Jay Pechek at Buffalo Technology, apologizing profusely for not responding  immediately to my initial queries about Raid Troubles in Europe and his DriveStation. It turns out Jay was on vacation in Colombia and completely without Internet access for a few weeks. But no sooner had he landed in New York than he was off on a product launch tour and … [Read more...]

Adventures in Data Recovery

August 22, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

A couple of years ago, an associate of the Ur-Guru’s in Europe bought a 1 Tb Buffalo DriveStation Duo to back up his business data. Last week it stopped working. “I've been using it in a RAID 1 array for the past two years, and it's just failed,” he wrote. “Three different Windows PCs here see it as unallocated space.” Bad news. And while Buffalo offered to replace the hardware, since the … [Read more...]
