Queensland Floods - Protecting Your Data

Monday, 10 January 2011 16:16

The devastation of the current floods in Queensland is mind-boggling. A tragedy of epic proportions affecting businesses and sadly, lives. Our hearts go out to the thousands affected by this disaster.

No business resource is more valuable than the very people that make the business happen. This event will be etched into the memory of many for years to come.

Preparedness for disaster comes in many forms. For years now we all have been encouraged to have our ‘go bag’ so that we are ready at a moment’s notice to flee and area of disaster or at least ride out a period of reduced services. Lives are at stake.

Further down the ladder of important resources, is your business data. It is much easier to protect than human lives. Do you have a plan? Offsite backups are essential for mission critical data. Things like accounting data, customer data and the things that make your business ‘tick’ should not only be backed up locally, but also off-site.

Many now take advantage of remote backup storage, even in a different country, which makes sense with the size of so called ‘natural disasters’ these days.

What about small business? Well even the ‘one person business’ can afford to do this. If you need ideas, just send us an email or use our contact form so that we can help you plan for disaster... at least with your data.

welcome to my blog

rodneys blog After spending more than thirty five years in Information Technology, the whole industry still delights, amazes and frustrates me like nothing else. - Rodney Spaulding, Mangaging Partner - planetblu

I started learning to program computers using punchcards. If you don't know what they are, you'd better Google it. The first time I actually got my hands on a computer was at a nearby college that had an old Digital pdp 8. It's now in a museum. From there I saved enough money to buy one of the first TRS-80's that landed in Australia. And who remembers 'The Source' BBS system from Australia? Imagine being able to connect via a voice coupled modem to a mainframe.

Now we are in the age of the Internet. I believe Internet should be free, just like air. But then again, I think food and healthcare should be free too. I'm delighted when it brings people and knowledge together. I love the idea of working from a little apartment overlooking the Amalfi Coast in Italy, or from the deck of yacht in the Whitsundsay's. That's the way work should be done. Right now I'm pretty impressed with my new Windows 7 phone called the Nokia Lumina 800. In my mind, the Windows Phone has become the phone of choice for business.

As you can tell, I love gadgets, computers and related stuff and the productive things they can do. I'm not into computer games, except maybe Flight Simulator, which allows me to fly when I can't do the real thing. The best thing is I get to do this for work! I hope you enjoy my blog and I know you will enjoy the service you get from my team at planetblu.
