The Backup Drill » Markethive

I'm James Otto Gray. Before any of this I spent thirty-one years with the Salem Fire Department, and for the last ten of them my job was training. Not fires - training. I wrote the standards, I built the exams, and I tested whether people could actually do the thing when it counted. Here is what that job teaches you. Almost everybody has equipment. Almost nobody has checked it. I run an internet business now, and everything it is worth lives on my computer. So I went and did what I used to do for a living: I looked at what I had, I looked at what was actually available, and I checked it instead of assuming. This room is where I write that down. What I check, how I check it, what I got wrong, and what I would do differently. If you own the laptop your business runs on and there is nobody else to call when it stops, you are who I am writing for. I'm not going to tell you what will happen to you. I don't know, and anyone who says they do is selling something. I will tell you what I check and why, and you can decide.
