Subject: New thoughts

I have already submitted my contribution 7/25 and like I always do came back to read what everyone else did that week. This is the first time I feel I must reply to a braindump, taken from 7/25.

"Have network with data on the servers, in separate room, NTFS ect. Reqired: ensure hardware reliability with 2 hours downtime acceptable, ensure data protection, fault toleranc. Optional: Protection against virus on network shares; logged tracking of -Solution: Daily backups, UPS, disk striping with parity, 40 day password change policy, server locked in closet, etc., granting user access, virus scans plus more stuff but no mentions about auditing. The solution satisfies:

a. The required and both optional results

b. The required and only one of the optional results

c. The required but none of the optional results

d. Neither the required nor the optional results

I chose b

Same 7 but with disk minnoring. Not meet required because disk minnoring is not fault toleranc "

I am the one who missed one question on this test. The above is a reason to check/verify/confirm answers. As you SHOULD know, Mirroring is a form of fault tolerance!!!!

Also, I remembered in the above scenario I had that it stated the 2 optionals were (1)tracking stuff(2) a METHOD of password protection. So even though it had change the password after 40 days, this was not a METHOD which should include a password length, lockout, etc.. BE AWARE of that.

And Robert, congratulations on the outcome of the attempted rip off of your site. For once the good guy wins!
