I have not read a post here suggesting that a UPS performs data backup. The UPS provides additional protection so that backups do not have to be restored and data is not lost since the last backup.
Consider this example:
A complete image was made 4 days ago and incrementals since then. At...
Ants ignore quakes
One other study has quantified an animal's response to a major earthquake.
Researchers had the serendipitous opportunity to measure how the behaviour of the desert harvester ant (Messor pergandei) changed as the ground began to tremble in the Mojave Desert, California, on 28...
The APC units I get at Sam's Club are usually less than $150 so they are not the higher end expensive units. The batteries have been lasting at least 36 months. I have found that replacing the UPS is often the same price as replacement batteries unless I get batteries made locally. I view...
The reason I recommended UPS is not for extended runtime in the event of AC power loss but to provide time for graceful shutdown. APC and CyberPower UPS have a software interface to the computer that can be set to shutdown the computer when the battery runtime is down to 5 minutes or whatever...
I hope you purchased disk drives approved for RAID on that controller. RAID puts extra demands on disk drives and many will not work well in RAID for long.
If you want to know why about RAID, I suggest you seek out articles on RAID such as those found on the disk drive and RAID controller...
If they never really pay the fine, then absolutely!
Sometimes such penalties are settled by the manufacturer's commitment to reduce the price of the next 300 million units by $1 but the problem is you do not know what the future price was going to be anyway.
You both are correct. It really depends on the disk drive. I have some 60-GB IBM DeskStars that some people nicknamed DeathStars that have been runing since the drives were first released and never had a failure. There are some models of disk drives with well-known problems with the...
We did a study of this at BellSouth once upon a time (>5 years ago) and determined from a power savings & power-cycle damage perspective that PC's/workstations should be powered off if not used for more than 8 hours.
The sleep and hibernate modes in Windows 7 are much better than Windows 2000...
The E4200 has a real heat problem that is overcome by placing it on its edge with the power plug at the bottom. The design of this series is not good for air flow. The hot air wants to rise but there are NO vents in the top. Somebody in marketing probably thought it looked cool and corporate...
Not really. Fines and penalties are not tax deductible. The amount is substantial also. At the time, it was more than 20% of a quarter's profit. If a company misses its quarterly earnings by 20%, the stock takes a big hit.
The lack of payment or receipt record does look suspicious.
