As attorneys, you’re committed to providing your clients with the best legal advice and service possible. In order to do so, you recognize that in the world of law, time stops for no one. Court dates are appointed, not chosen. Contracts have deadlines. Client meetings are a must. Any type of power outage, therefore, is a huge threat. As a lawyer, you have a finite amount of time to build your case, gather materials, research, etc. Should an outage strike your firm as a result of a natural (or most likely man made) disaster during your last few days before court, it could be detrimental to the outcome of a case.

We’ve seen it happen to United. We wouldn’t be surprised to learn American Airlines has an archaic computer system, but JetBlue computers? Come on, we expected better. I guess this confirms that all American airlines are created equal–equally bad. Although, now that I think about it, this isn’t the first time JetBlue has had their computers go south for the winter. In March (yes, less than a year ago), they experienced another “system-wide outage” that left thousands stranded. But, I digress.

Disaster planning isn’t easy, but it’s better than experiencing a disaster and being unprepared. Use these tips for a disaster recovery solution plan.

Organizing media materials online is a challenge with distributed teams of people working on projects. Versions of campaign items, ranging from mailings or posters, are often shared via e-mail and in long lists of folders. This causes headaches when not managed carefully. We’ve created a brief list of tips for better organizing marketing materials across groups of employees:

There once was a time that Santa used traditional backup, but Datto saved the day. People may think Santa has it made. I mean, he only works one day a year, everyone is happy to see him and he gets all the milk and cookies one could want. While all that is true,...

The NAS device is born out of data catastrophe, and the dissatisfaction of users who rely too much on hard-drive backup or the cloud. It is also a story about a business that has to share large quantities of data among distant branches.

Online server backup may cost less than you think. Every business needs a system for backing up their data. Most businesses realize that from the beginning and implement their own backup system. However, many don't realize how much this type of system costs them. You...

What was learned from Superstorm Sandy: how should we be preparing businesses for natural disaster? Today marks the third anniversary of when Sandy wreaked havoc on the northeast. The storm that flooded towns and  forever changed our shoreline wasn't even a hurricane....

Early on in the Game 1, 14-inning battle between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals Fox Sports lost power. It was the fourth inning and the teams were tied at 1-1 right when an electronics failure cut the power to the primary and backup generators inside Fox Sports’ production compound.

After an incredibly informative, productive and fun DattoCon last June in New Orleans, I was wondering how, will or even can the 2016 conference compare? As a quick recap, there was huge product news like the launch of the image-based Linux Agent, Office 365 backup as well as the announcement of the ownCloud partnership and last, but certainly not least, the exciting DNA router that miraculously eliminates downtime, even when the other technology around you fails (learn more about the Datto DNA). And, as the cherry on the sundae, we were escorted down the streets of New Orleans to our VIP party by a full-on marching band (see pics below). From what I remember, it was a very good time 😉

There are many things to consider, when determining the proper bandwidth. For example, when backing up your data, it is important to keep in mind the transfer rate at which the data is being saved to your backup device. Even if you have a device with plenty of storage space, your data won’t transfer quickly unless your bandwidth is set to the appropriate transfer rate.

We know you would prefer not to have to update backup and recovery solutions, but sometimes it is just necessary if you’re looking for real business continuity. That said, Invenio IT can make the switch to Datto an effortless process.
