My advice in these cases: keep the developers pacified; in parallel hire someone who knows what they are doing, give them the Linode info and have them give you the backup. Soon after, find a new set of developers that you can trust and fire the existing ones.
My major assumption is we are getting the full story. In my experience, there is almost always a lot more to these stories.
- trose 12y agoThis could also be some inexperienced non-technical person just being a nosey busy-body as well. Not sure why the devs dont just give him a db backup though. If they're a large site that could take a while but hey, the guy paying the bills asked for it. Maybe there's more to the story? I would total not comply if I was waiting on a paycheck or something like that.
