Backups are important!

leave a comment

A huge flight sim site was hacked and destroyed this weekend  – avsim.com. An important lesson on why off-site backups are critical! They had two servers, and had a backup of A on B, and B on A. Both were taken out.

Ouch. A shame to see it go. I’ve been going there for 6/7 years now. Good luck to them in getting it back up… they had one of the largest file libraries around.
