From the personal archives.

4 years ago at NetApp, I was working on NetApp’s backup strategy. As the strategy belong’s to NetApp, I won’t share the outcome …

What is amusing, though, is I had a presentation with the then SVP (and now EVP) Manish Goel. And lo and behold my latest draft had gotten deleted. And because it was on a laptop and that laptop wasn’t backed up my most recent and polished slides weren’t there.

The presentation went well … but I found myself laughing hard when I discovered the files were missing.

The guy proposing a backup strategy for NetApp didn’t have a backup strategy for his own laptop.
