Reminds me of an incident at a very large UK company where the outsourced operator manged to destroy all of the payroll tapes. First run fails second run loads backup tape into a malfunctioning tape unit which then trashes the tape - they kept doing this for all of the backups. This was the second month of the new out sourced payroll system replacing an in house one which had run for decades without incident.
