SharePoint Archiving Journal
As your data becomes more integrated into the way your company does business,
properly maintaining that data is now more important than ever.
The recent exponential growth in business data collection/production has
caused a major logistical headache for companies that need to maintain this
data and ensure that the right information can be located quickly & easily
when needed.
Although Microsoft SharePoint helps simplify document management, corporate
communications, and project collaboration, much of the sophistication that
makes SharePoint so incredibly useful can also become a challenge when it
comes to data protection and business continuity.
Because SharePoint stores data to SQL databases, traditional flat-file backup
software treats the database as a single, gigantic file. A major disadvantage
of this flat file approach is that it c... (more)

When it comes to short-term backup, disk is great. The combined cost-per-GB,
data density, speed and convenience of disk have made it an important part of

You've probably heard computer security experts warn you not to use wireless
connections at public places such as coffee shops, airports or hotels. But
have you ever wondered why?
There are a few important reasons for this. First - and most obvious - is
something called "packet sniffing". You may not realize it, but every
unsecured communication that you transmit over the internet is broadcast to
every computer within your local network. For a coffee shop with free WiFi,

One of the greatest features of online backup is its ability to protect data
continuously.
In the past, you would've had to back up your PC data after business hours on
a daily basis. This created a "backup window" where you had to wait for the
system to copy all of the data over to the backup device. This backup window
could be anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on what needed
to be copied.
