T-Mobile: "We Probably Lost All Your Sidekick Data" (Cloud computing fail?)
- hachiya 17y agoInteresting comment here from a purported inside source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-sidekick-data/comments/22246699/ http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost... > I've been getting the straight dope from the inside on this. Let me assure > you, your data IS gone. Currently MS is trying to get the devices to sync the > data they have back to the service as a form of recovery. > It's not a server failure. They were upgrading their SAN, and they outsourced > it to a Hitachi consulting firm. There was room for a backup of the data on > the SAN, but they didn't do it (some say they started it but didn't wait for > it to complete). They upgraded the SAN, screwed it up and lost all the data. > All the apps in the developer store are gone too. > This is surely the end of Danger. I only hope it's the end of those involved > who screwed this up and the MS folks who laid off and drove out anyone at > Danger who knew what they were doing.
