HP outdoes MythBusters with a spectacular disaster recovery test explosion E-mail

Anyway, I liked it and think you will too. You can read more about this demo at the HP Disaster Proof Video Questions and Answers page.

For your convenience, I've embedded the YouTube version of the demo at bottom.

TIP: For lots of general resource links on the vital topic of system availability and recoverability, refer to the infrastructure page of my website and jump to the section labelled "Backup, Continuity, Recovery." Visit either my primary web server here or, if that's unavailable (and, ironically enough, it happens to be off the air right now as I pen this article) then visit the secondary server here.

My web strategy, by the way, is to use two quite inexpensive hosting services in widely-separated cities, rather than a single sophisticated but hyper-expensive hosting service. This approach meets my needs and my budget quite well.

To conclude, last Saturday's episode of MythBusters was about the myth of "exploding trousers" ... Ouch!

And I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's episode too, which examines the question: "Can a small, disposable butane lighter suddenly ignite with the force of several sticks of dynamite?"

See all my articles, including podcasts ...

Have some fun with a challenge or two that I've devised for you!
