RAID is NOT a backup solution.

January 2, 2009 at 4:37 pm · Filed under English, Web Hosting

Some are learning that RAID is NOT a backup solution the hard way : Data Loss Dooms Blog Hosting Service « Data Center Knowledge. Explained really simply, RAID mirrors one disk to another (or multiple disks to multiple disks) but a mirror is a mirror ! So if you mess on a disk, the mess will be replicated to the other disks. Remember that you should always think about archives and external backups if your content is valuable! Even if you are using RAID !

Time to be out on vacations

August 20, 2008 at 8:24 pm · Filed under English, Web Hosting, iWeb

Seth says…

In the US, the next two weeks are traditionally the slowest of the year. Plenty of vacations, half-day Fridays, casual Mondays, martini Tuesdays… you get the idea.

That’s my view too. I always wondered what was the slowest months of the year when it comes to evaluating or budgeting sales …. I now think it’s definitely August. We are always afraid to see slow downs on June or July, but August has proved to be the slowest in the last years. It’s not all negative, support calls and tickets are also down. It’s time to optimize the work processes and prepare for the coming weeks !
