- pestaa 1y agoI've been putting off a cloud to cloud migration, but apparently it can be done in hours?
- zigzag312 1y agoYou can use accelerants to speed up migration

- kyrra 1y agoCopy/paste: 7 things all kids need to hear 1 I love you 2 I'm proud of you 3 I'm sorry 4 I forgive you 5 I'm listening 6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup 7 You've got what it takes
- zer00eyz 1y agoThis is the reason the 3, 2, 1 rule for backing up exists.
- dardeaup 1y agoThey might be singing this song now. (To the tune of 'Yesterday' from the Beatles). Yesterday, All those backups seemed a waste of pay. Now my database has gone away. Oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, There’s not half the files there used to be, And there’s a deadline hanging over me. The system crashed so suddenly. I pushed something wrong What it was I could not say. Now my data’s gone and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay. Yesterday, The need for back-ups seemed so far away. Thought all my data was here to stay, Now I believe in yesterday.

- rolph 1y agorepeat after me: multiple copies; multiple locations; multiple formats.
- miohtama 1y agoI thought clouds could not burn (:
- wartywhoa23 1y agoThey are clouds of smoke to begin with. The smoke from the joints of those who believed that storing their data somewhere out of their control was a good idea!
- johnnienaked 1y agoGood example of a Technology trap

- em-bee 1y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria#Burning_by_Julius_Caesar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria#Burning_... the destruction of the library of alexandria is under dispute.

- thepill 1y agoWatching Mr. Robot and seeing the burned batteries the same time...
- dagaci 1y agoNo problem — I'm sure their Supremely nice Leader up north kept a backup. He's thoughtful like that...
- presentation 1y agoShould have given him back his stapler
- Titan2189 1y agoI don't get it. Can you please explain the reference?
- elcapitan 1y agoThat's an "Office Space" reference, in which a grumpy employee burns down the IT company building.
- Terr_ 1y agoPerhaps extra-relevant to a story about data-loss, Milton was an employee who fell through the cracks in a broken corporate bureaucracy. His was supposedly laid off years ago, but nobody actually stopped his paycheck, so he kept coming in to work assuming he was still employed, getting shuffled into increasingly-abusive working environments by callously indifferent managers who assume he's somebody else's problem.
- latexr 1y agoIt’s a reference to the movie Office Space and the Milton character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Space
