Some are learning that RAID is NOT a backup solution the hard way : Data Loss Dooms Blog Hosting Service « Data Center Knowledge. Explained really simply, RAID mirrors one disk to another (or multiple disks to multiple disks) but a mirror is a mirror ! So if you mess on a disk, the mess will be replicated to the other disks. Remember that you should always think about archives and external backups if your content is valuable! Even if you are using RAID !

Vous avez un iPhone? Travaillons ensemble pour éviter les contraventions.

Don’t let people self-select (#10 on the list)
I think this tip does not only apply to lay offs. It also applies to what position you want an employee to fill, where you think he fits. Do not let the employee go where he thinks he fits, bring him where you feel he will be the best.
