Backup, Backup, Backup!

While I am sure everyone has heard this over and over, I will say it again:
backups are critical.
They can save the day on a morning when “Murphy’s Law” decides to bang its gavel on some part of your infrastructure that will have everyone contacting you to fix it…immediately. A thorough and recent backup can reduce the down time considerably and get your business back to normalcy. I would always recommend everyone know the steps to properly back up every piece...

I went to Harper college and worked on my Information Technology certifications. I like to spend time with my Fiancée,
Kelly, and her Kids when I get the time. I Love art and photography and I like to build gaming computers. I love to learn and grow and push my own limits.

Maggie
Maggie is just 11 months old as of this month and certainly has the energy of a puppy. She was adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks and has been a most lovable addition to her forever home since. According to a DNA test, Maggie is 2/3 Chihuahua and 1/3 terrier, but is pretty large at 22 pounds, for being a majority Chihuahua.
Her favorite food is frozen peanut butter in a kong, and her favorite activity includes chasing Jax, the household cat around until they are both exhausted.

Featured Adoption of the Month

Meet Truffles
"I am a very smart girl and treat motivated. You can teach me anything. I will look to you for guidance. I get along with all dogs. I attend the weekly adoption events at PetSmart where there are many dogs of all shapes and sizes. I just want to meet and play with everyone. I do need to have a playmate my size or larger, or at least as fast as I can run. I have a few friends at the kennel where I currently live and we run through the yard at top speed. I LOVE it!
Although I am energetic and love to run, I do enjoy snuggling with humans and will put my head in your lap. I truly enjoy affection. I am housebroken and am currently attending training classes at PetSmart.
I would do best in a home with no young children due to my energy and strength. A fenced in yard is a must since I love to run. I would also love it if my family was not gone long hours. I am still young and full of energy.
Please consider fostering me if you are not ready to adopt. It sure would be great to be out of a kennel and into a home with someone to love me. If you would like to meet me or if you have any questions, please email Jackie at
jaccapps@sbcglobal.net
. I promise you will love me!"
