Last night right as we were wrapping Jupiter@Nite the jupiterbroadcasting.com server suddenly went off-line. The folks watching the live stream did not even notice, as long as they did not refresh their web browser. But what followed was an all-hands-on-deck effort to get services restored as quickly as possible. But as the hours ticked by, we started to panic – what if the site’s data was lost?
Tonight’s episode will cover our story, and give you tips to protect your self from data loss, security compromises, and human error!
