I almost think that question should get reopened and the changes rolled back, simply so he can see how stupid it is.

@Zoredache I'm not knocking that particular OP for not knowing what his options are. But the way that question is worded, indicates a level of unprofessionalism IMHO.

If their data and their downtime is only worth 30 bucks, then by all means, use a 30 dollar backup solution.
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:34
until it matches a price they're willing to pay
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:34
and if the SLA that fits their needs is too expensive, then they have to redetermine the level of risk they're comfortable with
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:33
that particular OP was looking to hack together two hosting service plans to backup his "clients" stuff
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:32
@Zoredache Not at all. I'm saying people need to determine their clients needs and find an SLA that meets those needs.

I guess I'm just getting old. I'm tired of seeing non-professionals doing the work of professionals
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:29
and I'm sorry but as @Holocryptic implies, any consultant who would recommend a hacked together offsite backup "solution", should be fired on the spot
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:28
based on the fact that i have a rock-solid SLA
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:28
I pay between $6000-$10000 a year for offsite backups
GregD
Apr 20, 2011 17:28
their slas are pretty funky

Q: Easy Offsite Backup

Matt DawdyI've got a client that needs some form of daily offsite backup. He's got about 100GB of various files, including a 30GB SQL Server database that he really should be getting off of his own server and somewhere safe in the cloud on a daily basis. Many places offer this kind of functionality, but ...

We're allowed to be snarky because it's still against the law to shoot end-users

Well without being rude to the OP, I have to wonder just who people are hiring nowadays and how much he's making.
GregD
Apr 19, 2011 14:33
Maybe he's unclear of what TOE is??

2800 is okay, but damn if 2801 doesn't make your NIC gag.

@Holocryptic It slows SF down enough to be annoying. I can't click to close a question until it's loaded the chat box on the right column

I don't think so, if you need it modified per user, then use something like what @Ben mentioned
