Backup

We all know how important it is to have a backup. But here is one I have been hit with twice now - OK I get it.

The power went out on us yesterday and the battery backup on the wireing closet died sooner than we thought it would. When the power came back on, our main router had lost/scrambled its settings. Luckily, we had an old router we could throw in to keep the school running while we rebuild the main router.

Backup is not just software. Have a backup plan for minimal networking also: mode, router, switch, etc.
