I love the replies that are like "No.... test your UPS's and see if they work as expected"
Jack asses, at least my response the sarcasm is palpable!

Should I turn off my servers before Hurricane Irma arrives, expecting 4-5 days without power!
Um.. yeah no keep em plugged in and chugging along.. . .
I liked the one response of one dude takes the server and goes X direction and the other dude takes the NAS and goes Y direction. Wouldn't be a terrible thing to do assuming moving it is feasible, and way its being transported won't destroy the equipment. I wonder if they'd take their network equipment as well.

That doesn't make sense, because then if something does happen that poor employee is f***ed by management for "not protecting the equipment" rather than saving his/his families lives.
Have proper offsite backups and f*** the hardware. That is what insurance plans are for.

You're operating on the following assumptions.
- You assume there are proper offsite backups.
- You assume there is insurance.

No I only assume that people do the correct thing and not give a f*** about physical hardware. Planning for disasters such as this is the IT and businesses responsibility when they live/work in these areas.

Yeah I wouldn't want to be responsible for computers and data during a disaster. I would rather be focusing on keeping myself and my family alive. I'd rather be jobless than lose someone's life or be divorced.

What does this company do if there's a fire and they lose everything? Are they hoping the owners took the servers home with them? The whole conversation is ridiculous.

True, as usual, but come on man. RAID5 replicating to RAID0 and no backups? With "15 years" experience? Asking dumbass questions (s)he should already know the answer to?
Ugh.
-
mchance2 got his system backup and running and configured his system for RAID5 (presumably with winchester drives) and has corrupted blocks on his VM's.
Good times. I need some popcorn.

If I could take my current wage, and live in Mississippi, I'd be golden!
But, I would never want to live there.... so yeah.
My wife and I in 6 years will be kid free. So we are really looking at what we want to do and where we to live after kids as we will have a lot more options and it will be easier to do. We ruled out all places that have a much too high of living cost. We are looking at Tennessee. I am even thinking about getting out of IT and going into brewing. Hard Ciders and fruits.

You could do a whole Star Trek themed line of drinks. Something like they mentioned in the show.

I'm not sure what you are basing your 6 years on, but kids living at home will into their mid 20s is very common today, if not even longer. I hope for your sake this isn't the case.

Only in the U.S. is it considered a problem if your kids are living with you after highschool. Everywhere else, it's standard.
