It looks like a war zone in my neighborhood. Trees down everywhere.

Day 3
I’m dead in the water. The winter storm that came through Tulsa knocked out the power to half the city and has left a lot of companies kaput. Especially those that have all their data on one server, in one building.

So, all of our contractors, our satellite offices and employees that depend on data from that server cannot do anything because it’s off. The server is off, the phones are off and the remaining few of us that have power at home are trickling IMs to each other.

This has me thinking that a back-up server is in order, but what works the best?

If you have any suggestions throw them out.
