@ihussl: It looks like there’s been a huge data loss and Todd’s job is on the line.That is until Linda swoops in with a last minute print job that could save the day. #hardwarefailure #systembackup #ittech #corporatelife
How is this Todd’s fault? Management don’t listen, no capital expenditure!!

Why is it your job that is on the line when you already informed them

Todd kept every email and convo when he warned management, right?

This is why we do CYA emails. "As per our call, the decision is not to invest in protecting mission critical data. This decision will put data on $%$# server and it's database at risk of a hardware failure. This it's not our recommendation, due to the potential DL risk. " Even still mgmt will say they were not warned, but it's better then nothing.

Sounds like they have a big painful capital expenditure coming up with a data retrieval company to me

Todd my man you’re golden, got copies of the warning emails to management and their replies forwarded to a private email as backup. Not your problem. 👏👏

2013 a degraded array still has data on it. I used to do drive recovery in Adaptec arrays. As long as you have all the drives 85% shure I could have gotten that data. But I will tell you a moden backup scheme would have been cheaper.😊

I had done an attempted migration from hardware to vm using the old Microsoft tool so I still had a mirror of the database 1 week before it was wiped out.

They always say that and we tell them okay when it fails you tell that department their data is gone. This never ends IT to most businesses is money drain and we always cry more please. But data runs businesses not sporting event tickets 😩

it's not Todd's fault at all. if management didn't hear the warnings it's down to them.

Yeah, I have same stuff, I set security measures and then owner came and said hey, I'm tired of that notifications, I said that it's not a big deal and I want to make sure there's clear log about any actions then he said to shut them down, I've explained that it's can be bad and server might be compromised because of vulnerability, well he didn't cared about it, so I get it done, now I'm just waiting when time bomb detonate. Sometimes they have no idea why the things that we're going are important.

That's how it is. Something expensive has to happen to change things. And it takes the next 10 years until the same thing happens again.
