Last week, as folks were bracing for Isaac and what wrath he would bring to Louisiana, Mississippi and beyond, my mashup referenced making other preparations – those beyond the personal – that are necessary to avoid data loss. But for many it may have been too late. According to a comment on a related article: “Most everybody who has a good disaster recovery plan, has gone through one or more disasters before doing so.”
