As long as the HDD survives the drenching by the sprinklers, we should still have the data. That was back in the pre-cloud days (AKA the Stone Age). :wink:

We once got to the airport and found our airline's staff logging check-ins by hand. Don't know if true or not, but the story we heard was that there had been a fire in their data center, and the backup data center was in the same building.

At least the safety record suggests that their pilots are a bit better at their jobs...

Good news is, they kept paper copies of all the data. Bad news is, that's where the fire started.

That'd be an interesting interview.

I had one of those today.

"Thanks for your code to help me with my task, but when I do <this> it breaks."

"I must admit it never occurred to me that anyone would try anything as bizarre as that..."

(I was a bit more diplomatic - the kid's bright enough, but not very experienced.)
