Remember to backup: Business 2.0 loses entire issue
If you're running a magazine that focuses on business and new technology, one would think you'd practice a little of what you preach. In a 2003 article, Business 2.0 magazine compared data backups to flossing -- you know you should do it, but you probably don't spend much time on it. I guess in some ways, they do practice what they preach, because Business 2.0 apparently didn't spend enough time backing up their data last week.
The company's backup server failed, and the magazine lost all of its data for the June issue in a computer crash.
The magazine still expects to publish the June issue on schedule, but if this happened a week later, they would have been forced to delay publication. While the page layout information was lost, most of the text for the June issue was recovered from emailed copies of articles. It pays to be redundant in your backup solutions.
