THE OFFICIAL BLOG OF THE SBS DIVA

So about this time a good friend of mine is starting a journey, packing up a spare disaster server and ensuring that it gets installed in a location far away from the path of a hurricane to keep his wife's business [and his] out of harms way.  As he put it, SBSmigration.com is moving a state to the west.  And I got to thinking about how much people are so concerned about redundancy in a SBS network and when you get right down to it, unless you plan for redundant power, or a location far far away from the location of the storm, worrying about an additional domain controller so that folks can 'log in' means diddly squat.

Planning.  Disaster planning.  Here I live enough away from earthquake zones, but still I rely on such vital things as Power.

So have you made YOUR disaster plan readiness yet?  And you can fully expect that when Jeff delivers his Disaster Planning presentation at SMBnation, this won't be a whitepaper on best practices.  No, this will be, unfortunately, a 'been there, lived through that' presentation.

Stay safe, and we will all be thinking of you and everyone else in the path of Katrina.
