    Back Up

    You should be able to say to whoever runs / controls your backup "I need to recover <insert path here>/document123.docx" for example and they give you either by putting in a temp folder on the server or via email that document from the last backup, or "I need to recover the finance folder from...

    Ebay sales plummeted

    I rarely shop on Amazon, I prefer eBay, I don't mind waiting a few days for my delivery, I don't use Amazon Prime anyway so the delivery is about the same, and some of my stuff comes from China and you're lucky if it arrives in 3 - 5 weeks let alone days, lately eBay shipments have been about 1...

    Dummy orders being placed on website

    I wonder if whoever is doing the false orders are using Google One, as that includes a VPN and it might use Googles IP range for that? Just a thought.

    Protecting my idea

    Most people will not really care to copy your idea as by the time they are able to market you'd be up and running already and the truth is most people cannot be bothered. The best way to protect it is to promote it as then people know that YOU are the originator. NDA's are used for the wrong...

    Meeting NPS

    For me, I get Jira tasks rather than discuss it over a "meeting", the meetings that I do have via Teams I would score them low, not necessarily 0 but certainly less than 3. This is perhaps unique to me, or others might be in a similar situation, I can only speak for myself, so our task based...

    Is it possible to run a small business with anxiety?

    Learning disabilities or having anxiety shouldn't stop someone from succeeding at anything. If you can physically and mentally handle it then you should go for it. Start small, I think the key is make it manageable as others have said don't worry about anything until you have hit that magic...

    Meeting NPS

    I'm afraid I'm with others on this, it does seem a bit pointless, most work meetings I come away feeling ready to punch someone already without telling them so. I would always score low, management would ignore it as they usually do and carry on doing what they are doing. Maybe there are...

    Developer

    What is your website URL? If it is something as simple as just slotting in a section and the API is all good to go then it shouldn't be too much of an issue. I am experienced in Javascript and PHP for web based development.

    I'm looking for an investor/partner for a project in Zimbabwe

    I once got offered $5,000,000 dollars, all I had to do was send 1 payment of £10,000 to receive it, unfortunately I missed out on that opportunity. The closest i've been to money laundering was leaving a pound coin in my pocket when my trousers went in the wash.

    Web and app designer for my private jet charter brokerage

    You could have a responsive webapp (or PWA) but if you want "true" apps you can offload it to Cordova which will take your HTML / CSS / JS and stick it into a app frame and create actual apps. Wordpress is a bit more difficult as it uses PHP so you might need to have a loader that simply...

    New business idea but can it work?

    I think for some the problem is you put it off and off until it piles up so much that you just leave it, or get stuck in. I am the same with the dishes, I know I should put them in the dishwasher after i've used them, but it's "easier" to let them pile up on the side then it ends up being a 20...

    Thanks for the update, always interested to see how these things end up resolving.

    Stock/Warehouse/Order Management Software

    I've seen a few of these systems used, and apart from some noddy ones, they are all very expensive, they tend to include things that you don't necessarily need but it comes as a "bundle", seems to be the way most people are going these days.

    Need opinion on business name

    Those names won't mean much to most folk, so keep it simple, Bob's Burgers, Linus Tech Tips, etc.

    Travel Time to and from Work - Mobile Workers

    Nobody is ridiculing you for anything, you asked for opinions and you got them, do with them what you wish, you don't have to agree with them, I was just stating how the company I work for and many others I have had the experience of working with operate. If your workers have signed up to this...
