How to Create a Digital Fort Knox


Book Description

In today's digital world we produce vast amounts of data; photos, videos, music, documents, and more. Our risk of catastrophic data loss has never been greater as many of us rely on third parties or "The Cloud" for data storage and security. The question we must ask ourselves is simply what happens when, not if, but when stormy weather strikes, the cloud opens up, and our data is lost forever? Over the years, we've all heard reports of large corporations providing cloud storage backup losing customers' critical data. The bottom line is, the cloud isn't as secure as many believe it to be. In the Terms Of Service, which we must all agree to, most of these companies are provided legal protection against data loss. Many of us are not aware of or do not practice the 3-2-1 time-honored backup strategy which states, you must have 3 copies of your data at all times. A primary (working copy), secondary (archival copy), and an off-site (cold-storage copy) for disaster recovery. This book covers the archival data backup portion of the 3-2-1 rule by providing a step-by-step easy, and affordable method of creating a safe and secure local data backup solution. This includes an easy-to-follow installation and configuration of an Unraid Server. I've deliberately used older components unearth from my garage to show that shiny new "expensive" parts are not required to build a reliable, safe, and secure backup solution. By providing both practical knowledge and understanding this book will continue to be an asset for many years to come. Don't wait! Now is the time to backup and safeguard your digital life! Grab a cup of tea or maybe some coffee and let's get started?

The fort was catapulted to national attention when the prime-time TV show Ghost Hunters filmed an episode there. Since no shots were ever fired from the fort, who might the ghost or ghosts be? Now, Gardner Walsh delves into the creepy nature of the fort to find the answer. She explores the history of the fort and some of the Indian legends of the area from before the fort was built; provides interviews of staff and eye-witness accounts of ghost sightings at the fort; and she offers a fun look at how the fort makes the most of its attention by hosting its annual Fright at the Fort--called the "best Halloween experience in Maine"--and the summer Paranormal Faire. Woven throughout, Walsh recounts her own haunted adventure when she spent a night locked in the fort with the East Coast Ghost Trackers.







Beyond the Call


Book Description

A riveting account of three women who fought shoulder-to-shoulder with men and worked with local women to restore their lives and push back the Taliban They marched under the heat with 40-pound rucksacks on their backs. They fired weapons out of the windows of military vehicles, defending their units in deadly battles. And they did things that their male counterparts could never do--gather intelligence on the Taliban from the women of Afghanistan. As females they could circumvent Muslim traditions and cultivate relationships with Afghan women who were bound by tradition not to speak with American military men. And their work in local villages helped empower Afghan women, providing them with the education and financial tools necessary to rebuild their nation--and the courage to push back against the insurgency that wanted to destroy it. For the women warriors of the military's Female Engagement Teams (FET) it was dangerous, courageous, and sometimes heartbreaking work. Beyond the Call follows the groundbreaking journeys of three women as they first fight military brass and culture and then enemy fire and tradition. And like the men with whom they served, their battles were not over when they returned home.
