Danger in data loss

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Here’s a great article over at the Washington Post about Danger, a mobile phone carrier who is also a Microsoft subsidiary, that has seemingly lost its clients’ data because they didn’t backup their SAN before upgrading it. The author makes some pretty accurate points about data, those who create it, and those who manage it.

Interestingly, Wikipedia’s page on Danger shows their ‘Disaster’ header, which I think is a bit over the top. A ‘Stupid Sysadmin’ header would be more appropriate.
