Carbonite on Java Update

Filed under: General, SysAdmin — Tags: , — Taylor @ 9:11 am

Just a heads up to my fellow SysAdmins, Sun has struck a deal with Carbonite to distribute a 30 Day Trial of Carbonites online backup software with the latest update to Java. It’s not something you really want in your corporate environment, so be aware if your users have the ability to update Java, you could be getting Carbonite too!

Mobile Device Wipe Works!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Taylor @ 12:23 pm

Success, the automatic wiping of my Nokia N95 8Gig worked at around 21:15 PM last night. Proving beyond a doubt that the technology can be rolled out for use at work.

It’s just a pity that we rolled out the software nearly 6 months ago, and that I finished testing about that long ago. There was simply a scheduled wipe still in the system, which got triggered last night when I tried to sync my handset again for the first time in ages.

All my numbers have gone because I didn’t have a recent backup of that device.

Oh well, its a lesson learned.

When you’re finished testing always check you’ve undone everything you messed around with – better still start again from scratch in case you’ve missed anything.
