RE: EDI backup

I was just on the DR quest and here are some of my notes:

Lakeview Technology product MIMIX(r) dr1(tm) Uses data block checksums
to determine if a file has changed.  Tyra.Luhrsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

iTera's product GuardianSave(tm) Uses journaling. Chris Hansen
chris.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Vision Solutions, Inc. Dan Simms dsimms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Quick-EDD Hainey Business Systems Darrell Mudd dmudd@xxxxxxxxxxx

Management halted the project before I could thoroughly investigate all
the solution providers.

What would you fax (etc) if your hardware was down?  Most of that stuff 
would be stored on your i5.  If it's down, it's down.

As far as communcations go - get multiple lines.  One to your local
telco. 
 And then another one to bypass it.  For example our wireless tower to
one 
of our plants 30 miles away.  That should cover the moron with the 
trenching tool down the street.

For a quote, try suggesting a Mimix or iTera solution at an offsite 
location.  Granted, it probably won't be the low-ball solution but when
it 
hits the fan do you want to be the one who says the backup solution is
to 
fax stuff to the backup place.  When:
1 - You can't fax because your lines are down
2 - Or you can't fax because the report is still in the i5, and that
went 
casters up.
