Hah that's terrible.  A syncing system should check timestamps and sync whatever version is newer.  How can you edit data offline without losing it when you regain network access? 

 

If the syncing process destroys data on either side, it's fundamentally flawed.

Two Sides to Everything

Gizmodo Claims its a Sabotage ...

But I find it really difficult to believe if everything was in order somebody can sabotage multiple points of recovery....

I still think its problem with processes and procedures.

They picked up the story from AppleInsider, and I wouldn't trust that rag with Apple news, let alone anything concerning Microsoft.

Well that's good news, though I'd love to know what kind of setup loses your main data AND your backup in the same outage.

Pretty much any solution that works by just mirroring your current data onto a second location on a periodic basis. And yet the number of people who'll tell you they do this as their rigourous backup regime is astounding.

Backup People!

Scenario:

 

IT Supplier maintain a network for a customer, this consists of 1 x SBS 2003 box and a Backup Solution. Customer out grows the back solution, IT supplier informs customer, customer ignores supplier (there to busy), suggests to the IT supplier that only these folders require backing up.  IT supplier does as instructed.

 

The worst happens, server fails, (RAID5, which is another conversation).  Server is rebuilt customer wants data that was selected, blames IT company, even thou the IT company has e-mails what was requested.

 

In this scenario who is ultimately responsible for the data?
