On Paternity Claims and Sundry Other Rants…
I ran into an especially long-winded post in a competitor’s blog – it is very confused even by the standards of someone who claims paternity for the ‘online backup industry’. Initially, I thought it was just the phrase ‘online-backup’, but later it transpired that it was the whole industry for which parentage was being claimed. Much the same thing happened with me when one day in 1993, I asked my friend near the refrigerator, ‘(We) Got Milk?’ and thereby INVENTED the phrase ‘Got Milk?’. AND pasteurization. AND the whole dairy industry. Giggle.
I wouldn’t have written this post hadn’t it … Read the rest

Should we respond to a competitor’s FUD tactics?
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds”.
- Orison Swett Marden
The above quote would be a perfect fit for what we have been encountering here at Vembu .
We feel lonely at the top, especially when we are successful and our competitors take shots at us whenever they can. Some of them write blogs and articles about stuffs they SIMPLY don’t understand and some have their daily bread and butter watching our forums and press releases. I am … Read the rest

Prevention is Better than Cure
.
Pardon the cliche. In the context of data, backing up is ‘prevention’. Shipping your mangled/wet/smashed/puked on hard drive to a data recovery company is ‘cure’.
I came across an interesting story from the ‘cure’ side of the data protection business. eWeek is running a slideshow feature based on Kroll Ontrack Data recovery’s compilation of the top 10 data disasters they saw in 2009. The list is interesting. Here’s a summary of the underlying causes behind the top 10 disasters:
Surely, your customers don’t enjoy the prospect of paying huge amounts of money to recover priceless data. More importantly, (for … Read the rest

Interview by BackupAnyTime
I was interviewed by John O’Neill of Ireland based online backup service provider BackuupAnyTime back in August, 2008. This was part of a series of interviews John was doing with executives from the data backup industry. One of our customers happened to read it recently and he wrote us saying it may be a good idea to post my interview in our blog or at least have a post with a link to that interview. He felt the views I expressed in the interview are quite relevant to our customer and partner base. So here is the link to the … Read the rest

A tale of two (data) disasters
If you had a blog on Journalspace but rarely updated it, now’s the time to pat yourself on the back!
Following a data debacle, the blogging platform ceases to exist and the domain name is now up for sale. All this unfolded over the last 2 weeks when the ‘main database’ that held all key information (including the labor of love of many bloggers) was wiped out after it was unrecoverably written over – ostensibly by a disgruntled IT administrator. Techcrunch has the details.
Oh, and they hadn’t backed up their main (SQL Server) database – and they’ve been … Read the rest
