Mike Hussey, realize on a golf course how much GWAVA Reload was important to retrieve critical emails

State of Utah Governor's Office

Anyway you slice it, playing video golf is just not the same as being out on the golf course. But when you’re managing critical networks, you may feel like you’re stuck with the remote control Instead of the Taylor Mades.Mike Hussey, the LAN administrator for the office of the Governor of Utah, decided to take the chance and went golfing 300 miles away from the office. Luckily he had installed GWAVA Reload with his Novell GroupWise system.

Reloading on the Links

While on the golf course, he kept getting a call on his BlackBerry. He tried ignoring it, but the caller persisted. Realizing it must be important, he answered it to learn that a supervisor in another department had lost some critical emails. It turns out she had been “filing” her emails in the trash and didn’t realize that when the trash was emptied days earlier, the emails were gone for good from GroupWise. Because they had been deleted a while back, they weren’t showing up in the latest Reload backup she could access. She frantically asked Mike if there was any way he could get them back for her.Mike told her to wait for a few minutes and that he would call her back. Right there on the golf course, he pulled up Reload Mobile on his BlackBerry, found the Reload backup containing her emails and made it available to her. She was elated to find her email and Mike was very pleased that he didn’t have to forfeit his game.
