Thankfully My Town Had Emergency Backup And Data Backup Offsite Plans

Things began like any other day, with the kids catching the school bus and Mara going off to work. I keep thanking God that she took the Escalade instead of the mini-coupe . At the time, she obviously was unaware of what was going to happen, but the decision to take the Escalade is why she is still here today . When the Data Recovery 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. Unfortunately I was not listening to the radio, instead I was listening to an audio book . My wife was on her way to work when the tornado hit the center of the city . It ripped down Main and over to fourth street. Blew a part of the American Legion building and Donna’s Department Store. My wife stopped the car in the middle of the road and ran into an old building to hide in the basement, which thankfully saved her life . It was about 10 days later when we got the Escalade back. What a mess.
I was really happy that Joe’s business was booming. It was doing so well in fact that he won an award for selling the most cars in Wisconsin in one year . 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 The method we are using right now is outdated and probably horribly inaccurate, as it is all on paper and it is only what the customer purchased and what date they purchased it .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 . It was starting to get frustrating, because we haven’t been able to find anyone in the area who could help us get this thing going at a reasonable offer. Then, one afternoon, a young man wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase walked into our dealership. 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’m lucky if I can download anything on mine, but I usually play compact discs anyway. Due to my inability to download I was impressed and shocked by his collection . Brian doesn’t have a favorite alt rock group. 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 wailed, pronouncing the last two words very slowly and emphatically.
