ISP Recovers in 72 Hours After Leveling by Tornado

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that-is-what-i-call-disaster-recovery dept.

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.

    There are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we're downriver from the bread factory.

    my personal fav about this article is the part about rob banging a donkey. Please don't modify article text if you are going to post it, that way when they decide their copyright has been voilated it doesn't get into a "how much we modified it" argument.

    And this is what happens when someone compiles a blazingly-obvious summary of a story, followed by a bit 'o common sense in order to get a +5 Insightful. I'm glad to see this karma whoring was a work of progress rather than a GNAA troll that would get modded down somewhere that no one ever looked at. =)
