Our company uses various StorageCraft products...they support Windows or Linux and do local and cloud backups. It can be used as simply as Carbonite or scale up to more advanced features and do normal or full image backups. We've been enjoying using it as it's pretty simple, even for more advanced backups. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.storagecraft.com%2F

Honestly, I don't blame them...I was in the Army and frequently I was worried with some of the risk taking. Now that I'm out and working in IT I just had a customer purchase a "refurbished" laptop from China and we had to spend hours removing rootkits and trojans from it (maybe not the norm, but still worrying). It's simply not worth the risk, especially when dealing with something as important as defense.

Finally a proper response to the Thunderf00t videos? I've been hoping there would be some sort of refutation of his pretty solid points. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F... Hopefully this has been overcome! These videos worried me!

Being in the military, I can assure you those are all run from either a network called "Centrix" (If it's a shared asset with other nations), or SIPR...and neither of those are connected to the internet like NIPR is.

Even in sdoftware - or pharmaceutical companies where one would assume that a lot is spent for research the R&D budget is usual ~18% (which varies, of course) while sales and marketing usually eats away approx. half of the costs.

Sales, marketing and distribution is horrendously expensive and gets a far bigger chunk of the budget then R&D.

Couldn't that also mean they do more marketing than research & development?
