Personal Use

Some second level support guy have been heard to say "so biggest problem is always in front of the computer". This would be the second level support guy in the personal use case. Too bad. Sometimes it just happened.

A real world example - thanks to Anett for allowing me to post about the incident. As it happens she decided to reinstall her desktop system. She made a backup of her personal data. but where unaware at that moment, that this desktop hosts the database of the archive she manages. If we had to live without the comfort of a build-in backup as Askemos provides, we would had to lock her out of her desktop to make sure there is no sudden reinstall.

All it took to fix the problem: dig out an age old backup, where we kept the first version of her peer and issue a new certificate for it. Then start it and wait for a while, while the peer updates itself.
