Dedicated Server Hosting Blog

We're almost finished with the mass email migration.  Recall, this migration affected all "Spro.net" email clients as well as customers who who use a domain-based email service through a SolutionPro web hosting package.

As a function of this upgrade in service, we've also re-aligned the email section of our FAQ to accurately reflect the new email configuration settings.

Some highlights of the FAQ change are:

This is the play-by-play version of the data disaster that opened my eyes to backup services.
Like I said in Part 1, I was lucky that it only affected a few personal files.  The lesson-learned is worth many hours of frustration and potentially lost-data.

Here’s how my mini-disaster unfolded:

 

Backups?  Who Needs Backups?




I have a confession to make.  I’m kind of a hypocrite.  I’ve been writing this newsletter for over a year now and blogging about data center services, colocation and data backups and I can’t even back up my own data.  That’s not to say that SolutionPro doesn’t back up its data.  SolutionPro safeguards all its data on several different levels.  This isn’t about SolutionPro, it’s about me- the author of this article- Me, a SolutionPro employee.  The person who creates all the newsletter and blog content, saves it on a usb drive and thought he was adequately backing up all his files.  Until…..my laptop hard drive crashed.  That’s right- it wasn’t even the USB drive that crashed.
