Lead Geek Central

Hello. My name is Josh, and I’ll be your moderator today.
The notion of “community” is in danger of becoming a cliché, isn’t it? Everybody and his/her brother has an online community of their own, and who among us isn’t part of at least half a dozen of them? The cost – in time alone – makes you wonder is there really any value in it anymore?
Absolutely.
It’s the online community that shows up first when you punch in that weird error message you’re getting on your server. And it’s our own meta-community of IT professionals that exists to help one another solve problems. And that makes life easier. But communities can get pretty messy – so let me be your guide.
My goal here is really pretty simple – I want to help you all be successful in your role as IT professionals.

Chapter 12: Tales from the Trenches: My Life with Backup 2.0
In the second chapter of this book, I shared with you some of the horror stories of Backup 1.0. I did so primarily as a way of highlighting how poorly our traditional backup techniques really meet our business needs. In this chapter, I want to do the opposite: share with you some stories of Backup 2.0, both from my own experience and from stories you readers have shared over the year‐long production of this book. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, of course, but I think you’ll find these to be compelling examples of how Backup 2.0 has been applied. Where possible, I’ll share information about the infrastructure that goes with these stories so that you can see some of the creative and innovative ways Backup 2.0 is being used in organizations like your own.
