All of our data is GONE!

I got a kick out of this video, just thought I'd share..

Right, this story of theirs has become a recurring joke on the forum in the past few days.

sorry - didn't mean to repost...

Better to see it twice than not at all. A lesson in the benefits of redundancy. (Your post? What they learned? Take your pick.)

Somehow that was extremely entertaining to watch.

It was entertaining and I'm just a bit surprised they didn't have a backup at all.

from a post i read elsewhere it seemed they did have a single incremental backup but the raid card that crapped out did so DURING backing up and corrupting the backup lets hope they learned to follow the 3-2-1 rule

Ha-ha that video never gets old! Three hardware raid5s with a windows stripe on top and no back up anywhere. Epic fail!

Their production storage should be a Nimble or trueNAS, something with redundant controllers and active support.

Just more validation that they are *not* our typical user-base. As I said in the other thread, *we* are interested in 24x7 uptime and data integrity. Clearly, those philosophies are NOT the sameas LinuxTechTips. They're getting laughed at on Youtube, and rightfully so.

What they did is an embarrassment to themselves and anyone that supports them.

But you have to hand it to them for publishing it even though it was embarrassing. I think what I liked best out of the video was the fact that someone else was able to remote into the machine and repair the issue. Wish they mentioned how much that cost them, I'm sure it wasn't cheap unless they made a deal for the advertising.
