Arnold Consulting’s practical IT solutions will keep your computers backed up to prevent data loss in the event of a disaster.
Disaster Recovery
Even Evil Geniuses Don’t Back-up Their Systems—Don’t Let This Be You!
“Listen in” on an imaginary conversation between the evil genius Dr. Soong, from the Star Trek Picard series, and our hero Rick Arnold, of Arnold Consulting. What lessons you can you learn from an evil genius and the mistakes they make by not securing their computer network.
Hackers are targeting small business–News Flash? No kidding!
When I bring a new customer on, I explain that disaster recovery is like an insurance policy, and if you do it right you can recover 99% of the time. Wait…why do you say 99% of the time why not 100?
Well, it’s like this. Large Customers have computer Domains, and there are time limits on what they call Active Directory Objects. The time limit is 90 days, and this limit is imposed by Microsoft. What that means to a backup vendor like me is you can not restore an object older than 90 days, and why is that important.
WAIT! STOP! Don’t Buy That Shiny New Computer—Yet
There is a shortage of everything computer. The price of computers is easily 15 – 20 percent more than they should be. It’s not just computers. Printers, toner, computer hard drives—anything electronic and having a supply chain associated with it. This is where a refurbished computer starts to make a little sense.
I Backup in the Cloud, and I am Not Interested – OK, So Read On
What you have in the Cloud is another copy of your data, which is good, but Microsoft is not backing up your data. What happens to all the data if a hacker got into Microsoft and was able to delete the data held and synced by OneDrive? Because OneDrive, is a bidirectional synch, I believe that data would be gone off OneDrive, and off your PC!
