    Formulating a set of ethical guidelines is a good thing. Yes, common sense needs to dictate basics, like "don't deliberately sabotage your employer because you're annoyed at your boss"....

  • RE: sql server db backup over a wide area network

    It's not really designed to do that. Best bet is create the backup locally, then copy it.
