Time to say goodbye to Barcelona
As im sitting here in the hotel, waiting to leave for the airport, the only thing on my mind is: Wow.. what an amazing week this has been.
I have met so many old friends and made a bunch of new ones. All of the Tech Field Day delegates and staff are so bright and friendly that its hard to put into words. We have debated, discussed, thought out loud, shrugged our shoulders and laughed hard.
If you are not already following these guys on twitter, you really should go ahead and push that follow button. Here they are: @al_rasheed @TechFieldDay @ioshints @networkautobahn @darkkavenger @bockcay @OrhanErgunCCDE
In the coming weeks I will put together my final impressions of both the Cisco Live event and the entire Tech Field Day Extra event. Also to come is an analysis of some of the presentations we were fortunate enough to receive.
A big shoutout to Ben Gage (@BenTGage) and Tom Hollingsworth (@NetworkingNerd) for inviting me to this amazing event! Thank you guys!
Time to leave for the airport. Take care!

How I lost my data trying to back it up
My data, my precious data… is gone.
Overview
This is a story about how I lost my data when trying to prevent it by backing it up.
Even though there were numerous other factors in play, I take full responsibility for what happened.
I have written this article hoping that it could save someone else from the same situation. No one should ever experience the loss of his/her data.

Alrighty, It’s time for the offline backup routine again.
When it comes to backing up the full OS, I don’t believe in online backup solutions. This is specially true when I’m dealing with Windows servers. These kinda backups should serve as a disaster recovery solution and I’m not taking any chances.
So I always take them offline, outside of the OS, using a third party program to boot up the servers.
For years I have been using Paragon Software. Their products are great, reliable and I have nothing bad to say about them.
This time however, I thought maybe it’s time to ditch commercial softwares and use the solid ntfs-3g suite instead. Back when I started using Paragon, I didn’t even know what Linux was, Continue reading
