ISP Recovers in 72 Hours After Leveling by Tornado
aldheorte writes "Amazing story of how an ISP in Jackson, TN, whose main facility was completely leveled by a tornado, recovered in 72 hours. The story is a great recounting of how they executed their disaster recovery plan, what they found they had left out of that plan, data recovery from destroyed hard drives, and perhaps the best argument ever for offsite backups. (Not affiliated with the ISP in question)"
I, for one, welcome our new twister overlords.
--ALLIANCE EYES ONLY. Pass the word. Lyda managed to get hold of some important info about that secret Imperial project we've heard rumblings about. Now they're after her. They call her Codename Skimmer, ha, if they knew how close they got to her real name! Break. Anyway, keep an eye out for her--she might try to contact you. She's gone deep underground, and we have no idea where she is. Whatever you do, you MUST NOT give up her identity. Break. Also, see what else you can find out about these two things. One, the codename for the secret project is apparently "Dead Eye"; see if you can dig up any more information on it. Two, we need intel on a human doc named Vacca. Looks like he vanished off of Alderaan ten years ago, and of course records from there are hard to come by now (curse the ashes of that slime Tarkin). We need all the information we can get, but DON'T let anyone know you're looking too hard. Break. Word is the Princess is personally interested in this one, so maybe if you get lucky, you can earn yourself a shiny medal too. Grease the power couplings if you need to--the budget is going to stretch if need be. Break. You all know it'll break Lyda's mom's heart if we can't get her home safe. She's lost enough in the last few years, and now her daughter's off risking her neck. Lyda's spunk may have taken her a bit too far this time. Let's be careful out there.
DERLIN, SIGNING OUT

A single tornato is NOT the worse thing that could happen. It is pretty bad, but never underestimate how messed up God can make you.
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
YHBT HAND
otherwise -- were the ISP linked from the story, we'd have to see if they can also recover from a Slashdotting within 72 hrs! ;)
/. article has an effect close to a tornado?
Could it actually be that a
