Crikey, It’s 2010—Time for the Annual Archive Again

January 12, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Just occasionally, I think I might have been writing this blog for too long. Only very occasionally, because it won’t be “too long” until everyone backs up, the technology to do so is completely mature, and no one needs to hear about the subject any more. But the end of one year, and the beginning of another, is one of those times. How many ways are there to say “Okay, make a copy of all your … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 12-31-04: Year-End Backups

December 31, 2004 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: Before you go out to ring in the New Year, take some time to prepare your year-end backups. Why do you need a year-end backup?
