Virus Prevention and Recovery
Computer viruses can (and do) devastate thousands of companies every day. Some are relatively harmless, doing nothing more than redirecting your browser or turning your PC into a spam-spewing geyser. Others are not so harmless. They can render your PC, and therefore the hard-earned data it contains, irreparable – the only course of action is to reformat and restore from backup… uh, you DO have a backup, right?
So there are two courses of action to consider. One is how to prevent a virus from infecting your PC in the first place and the second is what to do if your PC does acquire a virus. (more…)
Ruth and Boaz … and me
My pastor is currently in a series in the book of Ruth. I’ve always been struck by this book and how Ruth, a foreigner at the beginning of the story, figures into the lineage of Jesus. One of my favorite passages in the Bible comes from the first chapter in this book. Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, has decided to return to the land of Judah after the deaths of her husband and her two sons – one of which was Ruth’s husband. Naomi urged both her daughters-in-law Orpah and Ruth and to return to their families, to their people, and to their gods. Orpah kissed Naomi goodbye, but Ruth chose differently.
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
(Ruth 1:16-18)
Disaster Recovery
If you drove to your place of business tomorrow morning and found fire trucks spraying water on a smoking shell of what used to be your building, could you recover? By recover I mean could you implement a disaster recovery plan in which all of your data could easily be retrieved and restored, and you could be back up and running with minimal loss of customer data, invoicing, or accounts payable information? Many business owners do not understand the significance of regular, timely backups until the unthinkable happens – fire, theft, or – more likely – a computer virus attack. What would you do? What could you do? How valuable is your data to your day-to-day operations? To your livelihood and growth as a business? (more…)
