Thanks, Lorianne
“No backups? How freaking incompetent.”
Everybody does “backups”.
How many actually try doing a restore?
Are you currently running on a system you restored from backup?
If not, you’ve never actually done a full test of your recovery procedures.
And that means you don’t actually have a backup system.
Thanks for your EXPERT input/info, on this. (And, thank you for your service.)
I agree....does not pass smell test.
wow, thanks for that

This is the third interesting story I’ve seen out of Lockheed’s skunkworks in the last year.
The first was the development of a desalination membrane they’ve trademarked perforene. This will collapse the need for energy for desalination—which represents roughly 1/3 of the costs of desalination. The membrane needs more work. So they need more smart young engineers to do the job.

The second big announcement from the skunkworks was that the skunkworks was working on a nuclear fusion device that they hope to have prototyped in 5 years. That’s going to need more young guns to do the grunt work.

The big technological revolutions that will make the 21st century successful—and push vast treasures to their developers — involve desalination cheap enough for agriculture and energy at least 1/2-1/4 the cost of current cheapest coal.
Lockheed is aiming right. Whether they hit the mark remains to be seen.

that’s a good point, however still suspicious
We once experienced a hardware failure that resulted in the destruction of some data. Fortunately the backups were able to restore nearly everything. Of course this was a private company where people were held accountable.
And once a month we test restoring those backups of backups just to make sure we can if we need to. What incompetent boobs. Jail time should follow.
Now you know why “Military Intelligence” is an oxymoron.
I have better backups for my personal photos and files than Obama’s minions claim to have for anything. This was supposed to be the United States Air Force, not some amateur group like Hillary’s team.
Note: I don’t believe these or Hillary’s lost files claims any more than I believe the “cleaning my gun” excuses for most shootings reported as accidental.
No back-ups? Seriously?
More total BS.
I worked in data processing for 30 years, never saw a situation where large amounts of data were actually lost. About the worst was where we had to go back two or three days and restore data from there. We ran programs to re-insert the newer data and lost nothing permanently. The idea that you lose over a decades worth of data is not believable.
You backup every week or every month and keep at least a years worth of backups. This sounds intentional.
Ideally the back-up is rotated to become the active file and the backed-up file is stored. Then if there is corruption in the back-up (now active) file, it will be known immediately and corrected.
NO way they didn’t have backup. We are fed Bovine scatology constantly.
If not convenient.
How freaking convenient. There should be backup drives and/or tapes off-line sitting in locked, environmentally controlled storage.
They aren’t stupid...they are criminal. Maybe they are both.
No backups? Seriously? That is beyond believable. I can see losing a few weeks of recent data, but not years of data. This is deliberate.
