Just curious, how do sites delete data from backups? If I were a member of a site for say 5 years, do they have some process to delete my information from a backup taken months (or years) ago? Or is it just delete from the db, so backups from now on don't contain the info?

- oso96_2000 12y agoDefinitely, it's an interesting topic. I would like to take a look too.
- dm2 12y agoDoes Facebook actually delete user data when someone deletes their account? (after 30 days or whatever the recovery period is of course) I had always assumed it was a soft-delete and any data given was theirs forever.

- dmayle 12y agoOne solution, encrypt each backup with a different key, than delete the key, and that data is the same as if you wrote over it with /dev/random
