I’m not a storage geek – storage to me is a means to an end, almost irrelevant to the final goal.<\/p>\n
I’m passionate about backup though, because backup is about making people happy.<\/p>\n
Backup is about recovery, you see.<\/p>\n
Recovery is about making sure people can go home on time rather than re-entering lost data all night.<\/p>\n
Recovery is about knowing someone can turn up for a flight they booked six weeks earlier and know the airline still knows they booked the ticket.<\/p>\n
Recovery is about knowing someone’s pay deposit isn’t lost after a brief systems hiccup.<\/p>\n
Recovery is about a student saving a 50,000 word thesis on a server and knowing it will still be there next morning.<\/p>\n
Recovery is about being able to look at digital photos of a loved one ten years after they’re gone.<\/p>\n
I have the best job in the world.<\/p>\n
If you work in backup and recovery, so do you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
