I don’t know whether to yell or cry. Be frustrated or furious.
Why?
Well… in the time honored tradition of the cobbler’s children having no shoes, it seems that the computer tech failed a back up cycle.
Normally this wouldn’t be an issue. However this time it is. As I left for Denver today, Dan had forensic work to do on our project server. It was the only project server for things we’ve been working on over the last few months. Apparently last night for reasons unknown, it died. The big concern was whether the last back up was in fact the most current back up.
I got the news when I got home this evening. Nothing survived. The back up had the beginnings of the project list and none of the data. So, we get to start coding all over. Dan is hoping he still has his notes. However, as we have moved the office, some of them may no longer exist.
Good thing I love him. Otherwise, I’d probably be yelling instead of just holding my head. Damn.
I am so sorry dear. I do not understand exactly what went wrong since I do not speak that much computer tech but I can tell it is bad. Hugs
I can translate this… imagine you’ve written everything down about how to make a new doll. All the patterns, color choices, fabric, facial designs, etc. Now imagine that a dog walks in and chews it to bits while dragging it through the mud. By the time you wash it and put it back together, you can’t read a thing. It is a total loss. Oh, and the notes you took that started the doll had a coffee cup set on them and you can’t read it either. So, you get to start from scratch.
That’s what happened to the hard drive.
That is kind of what I figured. Wow. Is this the hard drive you run your business with?
It is one of them. The one with all the data for various projects, ideas and code for things.
