New Diet Drink?



My co-pilot Mika spotted this and thought it was interesting. Frankly I find it just plain nasty. But what do you expect form a Labrador?

On-Line Backup Services, Revisited



None of the above. It looks like RackSpace is finalizing the migration of JungleDisk into their services. JungleDisk offers an online server backup solution that is reasonably priced, simple to use and reliable.

So far it has ben tested in our lab and with one of our medical facility clients with success. Prices start at $5.00 a month for 10Gb storage and 15 cents per each additional Gb of data. No additional charges for upload or download service.

Datajockeys manages the account. We check the logs daily to make sure issues are taken care of promptly. Each client gets their own login to the service. Changes to the backup job and restores can be done via this interface.

Please note that we charge admin rates to set up this service. It can be done via remote, and takes just under 1 hr to complete. For now, it looks like we will be billing yearly for the base service and quarterly for any overages.
