When Network Frontiers needed a place to store their most valuable asset,
The Backup Book: Disaster Recovery from Desktop to Data Center, they chose
BackJack. “Both BackJack and Apple have reliable Internet backup solutions
for the Macintosh,” stated Dorian Cougias, author of The Backup Book and CEO
of Network Frontiers. “We chose BackJack because they could support our
total data requirements of 3 Gig. Apple’s iDisc solution is restricted to
300 MB and really isn’t geared toward the organizational user.”
Network Frontiers is definitely eating their own dog food. The book features
an entire section on Internet backup, with 10 pages dedicated to BackJack
alone. “When people think of Internet backup, they think, ‘Hey, this is a
great way to protect my data if I lose it on the road.’ While that certainly
is true, Internet backup is more than that,” declared Cougias, the de facto
expert on backup and restore. “What data do you need most if your entire
building is gone and you’re relying on tapes stored offsite? Your catalogue!
Rebuilding a catalogue can take days, if not weeks. Just ask Mahboud
Zabetian of WildPackets. It took them seven days, 24 hours per day, to
rebuild their catalogue. Trust me, this is not how you want to be spending
your time during a disaster.”
Of the hundreds of products considered for inclusion in The Backup Book,
most never made it onto the pages of the book-but BackJack did, chosen as
best of breed for the Macintosh market. The company offers a cost-effective
Internet backup solution that is easy to use and reliable.
Dorian Cougias is the founder and CEO of Network Frontiers. Previously,
Dorian served as CIO of two of the world’s leading advertising agencies,
Fallon McElligott and True North Communications. Dorian has authored four
certification programs, eight books, and numerous technical articles. He’s a
member of the University of Delaware Technology Advisory Board as well as an
adjunct professor in the HRIM and distance learning schools.
