The misconception that Microsoft fully backs up your data on your behalf is common and could result in damaging repercussions which is why it’s important to know what areas you are responsible for.

Rick and I had the privilege of attending the “Catch Ya Quota 2019” event which consisted of two full days of fishing on Great Barrier Island courtesy of HP and Ingram Micro a week ago. I’d never been to Great Barrier and loved every minute of it…spectacular natural flora and fauna, beautiful sandy beaches, remote and quiet, nice locals, and best of all the fishing was awesome. Thanks very much to the Ingram Micro and HP teams for organising, hosting and shepherding the teams around, as well as keeping us all fed and watered. Also, thanks to all of the other attendees from various companies nationwide who took the time out to enjoy this event, socialising and networking with like-minded individuals…a great time had by all! Some very nice prizes too!!!
