Just a brief post to say that backups do not always apply to data.

It’s a good idea to have a backup set of clothes at your office, as I discovered today.

I had a hire car with a neighbour that was parked far too close. Upon entering the car, I heard the wonderful sound of trouser ripping. Fortunately, I had a spare pair of trousers in the office and could quickly change. Of course it had to happen when I was on my way to an important meeting with a new client. A quick phone call to say I would be late and a new pair of trousers and I was on my way.

That’s another good tip, always keep your customer informed if you are going to be delayed.
