I'm on several media lists as an expert source for technology quotes, especially for small business technology. One came through today that caught my eye as an interesting topic, but one that small and medium businesses should ignore. The question was about great new innovations in the pipeline.
Special SpiderOak Online Backup Sale
A tech buddy has been telling me good things about SpiderOak online backup and synchronization services. I have them on my list to talk to soon, but I just received notice of a special sale they're running tomorrow, May 20th from 10am-4pm EST: half off. Yes, an “Economic Recovery Special” is a cliché, but also serious savings. You will be hard pressed to find 100GBs of online storage for $5 per month, which is half their already low normal rate of $10 per month. Use the promo code “recovery” for the deal.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
