  • SaaS Backup … Hunger Games style

    SaaS Backup … Hunger Games style

    There is a great scene in the first Hunger Games movie where the 24 combatants are just about to start fighting. In front of them are a small stash of weapons. Some of the combatants charge towards the weapons, knowing that if they get one, they will gain a huge advantage – but if they…

    What not to do in Email Protection – part 2 of 5 (Tuesday) – Why Change Control Matters

    All this week (URL to Day 1), I am dissecting an IT horror story from a friend of mine, whose IT team turned on archaic archiving for their cloud-based mail service … and hopefully gleaning lessons from it: “Change Control” is a very lofty term that makes most IT folks roll their eyes: – Some…

    What not to do in Email Protection – part 1 of 5 (Monday)

    John (not his real name) logged in Monday morning to find that several of his mail folders had far less stuff in them. In fact, in very small font, he discovered his Outlook now showing “Global Retention Policy = 6 months” … and yes, everything older than six months was now in a very archaic…

    How do you back up Big Data? Or SaaS? Who will be the next Veeam?

    It seems that every time that a new major IT platform is delivered, backing it up is an afterthought – often exacerbated by the fact that the platform vendor didn’t create the APIs or plumbing to enable a backup ecosystem. Each time, there is a gap where the legacy folks aren’t able to adapt quickly…

    How do you back up Saas? I’d like to know

    You can’t have an IT “modernization” discussion without bringing up the cloud. And in the realm of data protection, that comes in a few obvious flavors: Backup as a Service (BaaS) – where your data is backed up either directly to a cloud provider or first to a local appliance and then to that provider.…
