All Those Backups Seemed a Waste of Pay?
When you have experienced data loss due to a system crash or because files have been accidentally deleted or corrupted, then don't worry any more -- there is at least a song for you.
Sing this song (author unfortunately unknown) to the tune of Yesterday, The Beatles:
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.
If you want to avoid irrecoverable data loss in the future, you should learn about backups. A good starting point is Wikipedia's article about backups.
