Binary Business

A weekend of relaxing with the family recharged your batteries. Refreshed and ready to go you sit down at your desk and fire up the computer. Minutes pass and all that appears on screen is a blinking cursor. Your great mood turns sour and suddenly your replenished energy dissipates into panic. With shaky fingers you dial your trusty computer specialist. The technician hears the panic in your voice and quickly assuages your fears by calmly stating, "Don't worry we can just run a data recovery and get your data back."

The first time your computer crashed you learned your lesson. You lost all of your data including your Quickbooks files and you almost lost your business. One year later you spent countless hours of overtime this week preparing for the biggest sales pitch of your career Monday afternoon. This time you were careful you saved your files to the server and the server has a backup tape so you must be protected. A phone call wakes you at 4 AM Monday morning."Mr Smith" the officer says, "are you the owner of the business located at 1337 Front Street?." Your stomach hits the floor.
