What do you do when you get home to put it back on the air -- let's say email as a base service, since it is -- do you have the gear laying around, and how long would it take?
Focus on this part, BTW, folks; let's ignore the politics behind the shutdown. :-)
1. I always keep a printed copy of all email and cellphone contacts that I normally would have access to online. 2. Critical is contacting your users. Normally your company has its mailing list but that is now down. You could set up a new list via Google groups or Yahoogroups or even your own Mailman on a VPS, but what about the list of users? Always keep an updated exported list of your users on a DoK so you can rebuild later. 3. Website: as above, keep a duplicate copy of your basic HTML pages on some DoK that you can take with you. Have the user+pswd to your registrar so you can repoint your DNS to some new site you now setup up with the new updated info about your downtime. -Hank
