Not Just Family Stories

Not Just Family Stories
I met a kind, elderly gentleman many years ago. He came to the library where I worked with a box of papers and explained that he was the last person in his family line.  His collection of family records had grown from generation to generation, handed down for almost one hundred and fifty years. He thought these materials might be of interest to others since they documented changes to his hometown over time. “I don’t know if you want these, but my family has deep roots in this area,” he said to me. His box included letters written home by a great uncle who served in the Civil War, and there was another great uncle writing home from the Gold Rush. He also had the papers of an aunt—a prominent educated business woman at the turn of the twentieth-century, when society discouraged women from being such things.  “It’s okay if you don’t want really want these—they’re just my family stories.” As an archivist, I hear these words often. “No one wants my stuff,” they say.  “My kids don’t want it and no one outside of my family has any interest in it.”

How Do You Create the World’s Fastest Backup?
According to the latest findings by an independent testing lab, Acronis Backup 12 is up to two times faster than the leading competitor, as well as the other well-known vendor. So how does one vendor create a solution that is so much faster than others in creating backups and performing recoveries? It’s a simple three-ingredient recipe. Step 1: Technologies and Innovations First, you need to invent a good amount of high-quality technologies – like live disk imaging backup, recovery to dissimilar hardware, Acronis Instant Restore™, and so on. Don’t forget to apply for and get 100+ data protection technology patents. Remember the quality – innovative data protection know-how can be extremely complex, yet have to be delivered to customers via an easy-to-use interface.

Disaster at the Devil's Tower
“Never update your system on Friday, 13th or on Halloween”. I knew the rule, I remembered it – but decided to ignore. I went ahead and began updating a few systems on October 31. I started the procedure late and with the last-minute requests and unruly users, my day has got away. I knew the update would go late into the night.

The Stranger in the Photograph
Many years ago, I purchased a black paper album at an estate sale. It contained images of a beautiful woman—her loose high school picture fell to the floor the first time I opened the album’s cover. Her smile grabbed me and her warm expression seemed to invite me into her life. I flipped past her wedding picture, a photo of a baby in her arms with a proud husband by her side, and a series of group photos.

Lessons in Beating Ransomware From a Jedi Master
Luke Skywalker: I'm not afraid! Yoda: Ehh. You will be. You will be. (The Empire Strikes Back) If you’re not yet worried about ransomware, wait a little while. Given the meteoric rise of this new malware threat, it is inevitable that you or someone you know will suffer from an attack that can disrupt your business for days and costs thousands of dollars to mitigate. If you don’t know anything about the subject, you’re in decent company: a recent study showed that 60% of US office workers have no idea what ransomware is or how much of a threat it poses to businesses.

Back Up Your Carousel of Nostalgia: Don Draper Would Approve
My dad had the coolest Nikkormat film camera and lenses. He shot vacations and family events almost exclusively on 35mm color slides. He taught me about f-stops and depth of field and Super 8 movies. Our basement darkroom reeked of stop bath and always had black-and-white prints hanging to dry. We even had a separate circuit for the red safelight.
