Tech Magazine Loses June Issue, No Backup

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 2, 2007 @12:43AM from the happens-to-everyone dept.

Gareth writes "Business 2.0, a magazine published by Time, has been warning their readers against the hazards of not taking backups of computer files. So much so that in an article published by them in 2003, they 'likened backups to flossing — everyone knows it's important, but few devote enough thought or energy to it.' Last week, Business 2.0 got caught forgetting to floss as the magazine's editorial system crashed, wiping out all the work that had been done for its June issue. The backup server failed to back up."

At what point did Nelson Muntz stick his head in the room and say "Ha Ha!"?
