I'd have to double in size to become Mom and Pop.

When I finally get around to building my needed ofice park, I know one architect to avoid.

For some reason they think us service guys can save them from their own stupidity every time.
Stuff breaks, plan on it! Even if you have agood backup of all you data, if the machine suffers
a meltdown, the time it takes to replace the hardware, reload the software, and get everything
running again can have a severe impact on your business. (like nothing gets done for a day or two because its all on the computer).
Poor system management is also another leading
factor, there is a good reason for limiting file
access and user privileges, but most people don't want to be bothered with setting them up.
Care to bet on how many people reading this who don't have a current backup?

Anyone can have a day day, but 7 years of NO BACKUPS! It sounds like this company wanted a catastophy... If I were the insurer, I'd feel no obligation to cover the losses.

I run a small business. There's a little goody hiding in Windows XP called backup. I close at 6 every day, at 6:15 backup automatically starts and runs unattended until it's done.

When the old computer croaked it took a couple of hours to restore the data and we didn't loose a single thing during the transfer and change to the new computer.

Anybody who doesn't do something along those lines is just an accident waiting to happen.]]>Jan 25th 2008 9:53AM
