8TB of data is an insane amount of documents/pictures.

How is this even possible in 2021?

What do you expect when IT departments are full of south Asian and East Asian immigrants? You don’t think maybe 5% of them could be foreign intelligence agency agents sent over to cause chaos?

1TB of data is equivalent to 250,000 pictures

 

[doe moe]

No cloud backups either?

Someone fucked up. This is what happens when you lie on your resume to get that job.

Their whole IT dept need to be fired lol
Or whoever they outsource they stuff to.

Madd negligent.

So which top donor or politician got arrested right before all that data disappeared?

 

[Allister]

I wonder if this is how Amber Guyger will get out......

shit was my worst nightmare

 

[easy_b]

I think this was done on purpose

[jasonblacc]

Somebody got paid

[D@mnphins]

Well there is a blueprint out there now. And other departments maybe hit also. And at the same time departments are calling the government yelling we need to upgrade our security systems.

Wait they lost 22TB they got back 14 TB. How does this happen. Unless it was an inside job. 1TB is 6 million office documents. Wow and I thought Tmobile was fucking up.

"I can't remember what she did, didn't she steal some popcorn at the county fair? Think she can be let out now, she served her time. Let her out the side door just to be safe"

That's why I got out of the game. They over here working for half price fucking up the curve.
They are supposed to have a mirror so they can;t lose the data.... Armatures

None of this make sense. I did IT in the early 2000's. Know how much steps I did daily, backup tapes, then Iron Mountain weekly tape exchanges/pickups. This 2021.

Unheard of.

one time at my job, on payday- EVERYBODY got a double check. (paid for 160 hrs instead of 80). It was our boss' job to enter and approve time.

one of the cats I worked with swore up and down the manager did it on purpose, cause HE (the boss) needed the money, but it's too suspicious if only one check is inflated. So, where do you hide a tree? in the forest. Everyone got that money, including him... and we all paid it back(including him) the next pay.


This is like some movie shit- they got some evidence or something - prolly been in there for years, and something was about to get blown open, or someone was snooping around, only way to make sure shit don't get found is to nuke everything.

It's likely too late now, (god, I hope so) but I'm honestly surprised some of trump's .... uh, business associates' places of business didn't have.... similar accidents that just would had "happened" to destroy a lot of his financial and business records...

 

[godofwine]

Back up back up cuz it's on

 

[Dirtylakerie]

I think this was done on purpose

this was probably a political favor. For someone friends and family.

Then you know people who for example think RAID is a backup. Or never tested their backup, or intentionally disable cloud backup "because they don't trust the cloud", or let the person responsible for backups go and no one did them since. There probably isn't no conspiracy, just normal incompetence or a manager's cost saving move finally coming home to roost.

Yep.....I did the same when I was a System Admin.
We had a 48 tape Veeam Backup Server.....6TB per tape..... was changing out tapes every Friday and submitting requests to Iron Mountain for pickups and tape returns.
If DPD can be this cheap and irresponsible.....I wonder how many other agencies here are just as reckless?.....smh

 

[0utsyder]

Folks keep nickel and diming the IT dept: "Oh, we don't need on-site support, we can just have off-site company handle that." "Updates, nah that costs too much, besides what's the difference between Windows Server 2003 and 2012?" "Replace the tape drive with a Snap Server? That tape drive is still working fine!!!" "Veritas still works right? Then why move to Veeam?"

I wouldn't be surprised if the backups that are done only do about +100gb of data and forgot all about the other data that had been growing over the years.

When Bugs is finished with Florida, send him over to Texas. With the exception of Florida, no state is as hellbent on self-destruction as Texas. It's a circular firing squad.

 

[deputy dawg]

original reports written on paper, or do they throw them away after data entry?

 

[dHustla]

.no Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain

What's Iron Mountain?

They're a storage backup company.
They will take your company's backup tapes and store them off site incase you have a fire or whatever catastrophe at your company server location.
