What
Stupid Data Recovery Tricks Mean to You
If
you can keep from laughing for the next three minutes, it... might...
just... work.
It's
ten o'clock on a Friday evening (why? it just always is) and it's
been forty minutes since you last saved your Very Important Document.
You hear this sort of clunking noise start up inside your computer
and before you know it, you've gone and let all the blue smoke
out of your hard drive. It's gone. It's really, really gone.
There's
no hope of raising technical support at this hour, so you have
to think back to every weird thing that anyone has ever told you
might get a hard drive started up again - at least long
enough to save as much of your work as you can manage.
Wasn't
there some sort of Mayan folktale about sacrificing a monkey?
Something about ice packs? A story about taking your computer
for a ride over a really bumpy road?
Probably
not. But at this point you'll try just about anything. Because
in the Information Age, we rely on our information. And
when it suddenly goes away we're willing to regress to the Dark
Ages on the off chance that we can get all that stuff back. Please
pass the garlic and... did you need that black rooster?
And
When You've Had Enough of the Stupid Tricks
We've
all been there. That's where the Tricks come from. Have a good
laugh at how stupid the rest of us have been, but when you're
done laughing - think about how you can be smarter than we
were.
Warm
and Fuzzy Logic has got the tricks and the cartoons, but we've
also got a secure, reliable, efficient piece of software called
ShadowBack. When you're
done laughing, have a look.
Ten
o'clock Friday evening rolls around once a week. Just how safe
is your data?
