Yikes. I assume they didn't have offsite backups, and some dude did a 'rm -rf *' or ran a 'delete from table cascade' command.

- 4buot 17y agoApparently they botched an upgrade of their Oracle SAN.
- nkassis 17y agoI mean this could count for criminal negligence. I wish they would release more info on how the failure happened and why the backups aren't working.
- eli 17y agoSeems like a big assumption since we don't know any details. Perhaps a malicious sysadmin?
- jsz0 17y agoBased on the wording of the statement it seems likely they had no usable backup solution at all. Offsite or otherwise. Even a 24 hour daily backup should have provided some data. Sounds like a classic case of neglect to me. They probably had a solution in place but didn't verify it was actually working.
