No, he had backup.

once he knew it was lost he could recover it

Sandman
It wasn't lost, he had backup.

Whisky-dave
How many backups.

doesn't matter.

yuo don;t know you've lost data until it's not there.

Sandman
Not sure what this is even supposed to mean.

that's just linkbait.

there are hazards in local storage too.

You have to know you're datas lost before you get it from a backup.

Sandman
A requirement to restore data from a backup is not knowledge about another copy of it being lost.

Whisky-dave
Then why would you access the backup ? or perhaps it;'s an archive IF you know the duffernce that is.

no need to access the backup if the main drive works.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

We've had whole servers go down and no been able to recover from a backup.

Sandman
So you didn't have backup. That's stupid, and I hope smarter people are in charge since then.

Whisky-dave
They thouht they had a backup but it was useless as the discs had crashed. The automated backup hadn't happened because of a power failure that crashed the drives.

they really need to update their system.

A backup is useless unbless you know you can get the data back.

Sandman
A backup isn't a backup unless it provides data to be brought back from it.

Whisky-dave
it's why it's called a backup. Because in theory you can get back up and running.

and in practice.

Sandman
And according to you, something you can not reach is lost. That's a pretty idiotic standpoint.

Whisky-dave
Any fool can find a 1 or a 0 getting them in teh right order is the tricky part.

that's why there are backups, so you don't have to manually put them in the proper order.

what a bizarre thing to even say.
