    After reading this article, waiting 5 hours for windows updates seemed to be quite a pleasant experience. :D

    OUCH thats really bad but then did he not have a backup, which he did, sad thing is he was lax in having the backup drives linked to the main server, a no no! I do feel for him as we have all done silly things at times, that misjudged driving manoeuvrer to deleting files we really needed, to no keeping backups.

    Someone at work shared that story the other day.... does it make me a bad person that I actually find the whole thing kind of hilarious?

    I feel very bad for the man's customers, but ultimately... this is why you have external backups on another network.

    I feel for the guy and the customers.But it is funny.How could you make a mistak like that.Not very professional if you ask me.

    But what a mistake not to have any type of backup system in place.I am sorry to say you could have at least bought a external back up 1 tb would have been more than enough to keep a shadow copy or a full copy of the systems.

    I use one now and i have 4 computers.Each computer i have i have all of the backups,And system restore points on my one Tb External hard drive.

    I even store games files to shadow copy to each computer to save time.And there are some games that take a long time to install,Some now go up to 65 Gigs of space.You want to have some backup for them including music,video,and programs that you might use in the future.And even a flash drive backup of the OS would have been more than enough for the system to recover.
