Disaster Strikes Two Sequoyah Software Clients
Sept 2015
In May, a fire caused by a faulty printer/copier gutted Tri County RWD #2 in Earlsboro, OK (pictured). Fortunately no one was hurt. However the fire engulfed the whole building renderring the office useless. Although all computers and backups were damaged, Sequoyah Software's Mike Brown was successful in saving their data from the smoke-damaged server. Trent Anderson and John Katubig of Sequoyah's St Louis office and I.T. specialist, Kirk Eby spent two days on site rebuilding their network. Tri County was up and running in no time.
Four months later, a similar disater struck another of our customers. A fire inside Leadwood City Hall in Missouri on Sept. 17 forced city officials to temporarily shut down operations. Like the fire in Earlsboro, no one was hurt. But unlike the fire in Earlsboro, no data was retrieved. Trent and John were on hand to help install the Sequoyah Software onto their new computers, but they will have to transfer what data they had from reports.
Sequoyah Software cannot stress enough how important regular backups are. In Leadwood's instance it will cost them several hours to re-enter their data. And they will have no history prior to the current balances.
It is vitally important to have a backup plan using your own off-site media or Sequoyah Software's Backup and Recovery Program. We hope that disaster will never strike your company, but if it does, you need to be ready for it.
If you find company backup and recovery may be lacking, please contact us. We can review your plan and come up with a viable solution to a disaster that we hope never happens.
