Диагностика CIO: как понять, на какую роль вы реально тянете и что делать дальше

Самая частая ошибка сильного IT-руководителя - думать, что хороший опыт сам по себе делает его подходящим для любой CIO-роли. На практике это почти никогда не работает.Можно иметь большой стаж, управлять людьми, вести крупные проекты, пережить несколько трансформаций и всё равно не попадать в нужный профиль. Не потому, что вы слабый, а потому что рынок ищет не «в общем сильного человека», а конкретный тип CIO под конкретную среду.Именно поэтому первый шаг... Read more

Почему rsync ≠ гарантия целостности данных. Как я проверяю бэкапы и нахожу расхождения

Работа с rsync и многими другими утилитами для бэкапирования несёт в себе совершенно не очевидную и от этого особенно недооценённую опасность — риск получить рассинхронизацию содержимого файлов, о которой никто и никогда не узнает до того, пока не станет поздно. Статья задумана как рассказ об очень интересной, но малоизвестной утилите precizer. С её помощью можно контролировать целостность данных при синхронизации, бэкапировании или восстановлении файлов.
