[AccessD] OT : External Drives x posted

I saved one of clients big time with one. I had just started consulting
there. Hadn't even done a complete review wo the place yet. (From what I had
gone through, it was a mess.) They have a couple of Access apps they use and
one was giving them fits with images. They asked me to take it along and see
if I could correct it. So I did and of course copied their backend database
so I could use the real thing. Two weeks later the backend had become
corrupted and they could not (nor could I or any of you - I asked :o)
recover the data.

I asked them for their backup tapes and to our wonderful surprise found that
not a single backup had worked properly in the last 11 months. (Believe it
or not I still have to get on them abut preventative security measures.)
Anyway they were looking at a major disaster and after a few hours I
remembered I had it on my USB pocket drive. Only two weeks out of date
compared to 11 months. You think they would have bought me a coke or
something special like that!

...its hard to believe how easy it is to use ...all my client systems have
front mounted USB 2 ports ...you just plug it in and it gets mounted
automagically ...and as long as its not being written to (its light flashes
when thats going on) you can just yank it without further ado ...and I
really like the neck chain with the clip bit ...hard to forget it or lose it
and its always immediately at hand.
