The Tornado Hit But We Had Data Storage Device And Disaster Recovery Plans In Action
Today began as normal, my wife put the kids on the bus with their lunches and then got into the car to go to work . I keep thanking God that she took the Escalade instead of the mini-coupe . She didn’t know it then, but with everything that would happen that day it was probably what saved her life. When the Emergency Backup was finished, and the Escalade was finally returned, we were in shock. The sky was bright blue in the morning, and after Mara left, so did I. My drive is much shorter, so I always take the Honda. All of a sudden the wind started blowing out of the southwest, big gusts. I didn’t think anything of it. Had I been listening to the radio I might have though. Later I found out that there were tornado warnings all over all the stations. But I had an audio book in. My wife was on her way to work when the tornado hit the center of the city . The tornado made a path of destruction through the epicenter of downtown . The tornado took off part of the Nieman Marcus building as well as the Trump Tower . Mara slammed on the brakes and ditched the Escalade. She ran into the old bank building, which is why she is alive today. It was about 10 days later when we got the Escalade back. What a mess.
I couldn’t have been happier for Joe, his business was doing really well . We sold more cars last year than any other dealer in the Madison area. The only problem was how to keep all these great customers. We decided that we needed a computer system to organize all of the customers information, where we would know where they live, what they bought, and how long ago they bought it . The method we are using right now is outdated and probably horribly inaccurate, as it is all on paper and it is only what the customer purchased and what date they purchased it . As of lately, business has been so great that we don’t have much room left to keep these paper copies, all of the files and folders in the office and storage rooms are full ! We have all racked our brains on what we need to do and how we should do it . What the most frustrating part of all of this is, is that we know what needs to be done, but everyone is offering to do it for an astronomical price, that we definitely cannot afford . One lazy afternoon we had a guy walk in with a briefcase, looking very professional . We all wondered what he was doing here because it was obvious he wasn’t in the store to buy a car, he eventually told us that he was there with a Data storage. He mapped everything out for us and even suggested a store that we could buy the software from, he was amazing with us and I don’t think we could have pulled any of it off without him ! Maybe Mike will come to us when he needs a new car. Has anyone seen the coffee machine?
My friend is seriously obsessed with his music, he could not stop telling me all about it . He’s got over 30,000 artists and tunes on his computer. I have an outdated computer so I am happy if I have the opportunity to download music, let alone pictures and such . I couldn’t believe Brian’s collection. He doesn’t have any particular taste in music, so his collection can be impressive to anyone with any taste in music . His taste in music ranges from The Beatles to New Kids on the Block to Death Cab for Cutie to Nirvana to Aerosmith to Billy Holiday . “This is the perfect Data storage!” He screamed, one can feel the excitement just emanating off of him when he listens to music .
