The Microsoft PR machine has swung into gear over the Danger data loss. Now the lost data is for the most part recovered. And the truth comes out that the Microsoft management decided that the technicians did not need to make a backup because it would take too long and the maintenance company (not the hardware vendor) assured them a backup was unnecessary. Of course, everybody knows, “backups are for sissys”. I have been a systems type for about 35 years. I think I know what I am doing. And I always make a backup. And keep it until somebody says. “Yeah, this is working fine”.
My advice: Do Not Trust Anything Microsoft.
