it sucks but they didn't follow the basic 3-2-1 rule of back-ups (3 copies, 2 types of media, 1 off-site)
That’s smart, My last company did 4-3-2-1. When the servers went down all we had was 4 calling birds 3 French hens and 2 turtle doves.
was your last employer a flock of seagulls?
u said flock
I heard about them. They got the five golden rings award
Well, they got the 1 off-site bit...
but it wasn't even a back-up when they no longer had the original files
