Solve : Do Not Format Your Hard Drive.? |
|
Answer» Off Topic. But serious. ...sensationalist Posts and Topics.I am just reporting. Curious minds need to know. Want to even tray and guess how much work time and property is lost every year because data was lost due to some dumb thing a human did to a computer? Ir is so much they not longer report it. Think of Bank of America back in 2005. Or Bank of New York in 2008. Or this item: Quote Sep 5, 2009 – A Mitsubishi Corp. internet shopping unit lost credit card details on 52000 customers after its servers were hacked from overseas.But in that case they blame hackers, not the management. More recently: Quote Over 50% of Companies Have Lost Data in 2011– Many Cannot Recover It, Cibecs Survey Reveals The apathy is seen everywhere. Like deaths due to drunk drivers. And work hours lost to cigarette smoking, illness because parents don't want to vaccinate their children. And so on . Who cares? Anybody who calls attention to wide spread stupidity is now named a sensationalist. If a criminal breaks into you house and shots you, it might make the ten o'clock news. But never mind your back lost a month of records for hundreds of customers because a tech decided to format a hard drive. That's not important. Real news has to involve blood. You just proved my point above... Quote You're not working on facts. you're working on suppositions, assumptions, and threads pulled from the tapestry of the cloth woven from those. The 2005 incident didn't "lose" data, the result was a breech of data. This is in no way related to anything that could result from a disk drive being formatted, and poses itself as a logical faux pas. Same for the latter, Which was a breech of data, not the outright destruction thereof. In fact, it confirms at least that they have a backup strategy of some sort, since in both instances it was backup tapes that were lost. There are two other things: -They were lost, due to shipping issues; there is no reason to conclude that they were stolen. -considering how often tapes are made, moved around, and so forth, you being able to only cite two instances of this- both of which are in no way related to your original post- says a lot. Quote But never mind your bank lost a month of records for hundreds of customers because a tech decided to format a hard drive. That's not important. Real news has to involve blood.What does formatting a hard drive have to do with losing records? What are you even talking about? The fact is that the tapes were probably being archived or stored somewhere, not "retrieved". Some tech didn't format some hard drive somewhere and go "oh woops I formatted the wrong one, better call up detroit and have them ship me 3000 tapes when I only need one" Mostly because there are on-site backups, as well as redundancies such as RAID in-place, not to mention that such action is not going to be taken with a production environment machine. As noted above, they were lost- that doesn't mean they were stolen; that was the assumption however, the banks made in both instances, working to respond to the worst case scenario by offering things such as Credit monitoring for those affected. Quote Want to even tray and guess how much work time and property is lost every year because data was lost due to some dumb thing a human did to a computer? Ir is so much they not longer report it.How long have you been on this planet. People are stupid. This is not news. That's why it's not reported. It's also not very interesting. Quote The apathy is seen everywhere. Like deaths due to drunk drivers. And work hours lost to cigarette smoking, illness because parents don't want to vaccinate their children.What the *censored* do any of these have to do with your original supposition? This SEEMS like a "murder arson, and jaywalking" bit, too. "Drunk drivers, parents that don't vaccinate their children, and SMOKERS TAKING BREAKS! MY GAWD!". By the way, the concept of smokers getting extra breaks over their non-smoking colleagues only exists if the place they work is ill-managed. Everywhere I've worked it's been EQUAL and smokers trying to take extra time were properly chastized. I would surmise that more work hours are wasted to things like FACEBOOK, youtube, and so forth than cigarette smoking. More work hours are probably lost from people drinking coffee than smoking. Smoking is a lot of things but a clocked time sink is not one of them. Anybody concerned about work hours being lost to cigarette smoking should be concerned about coffee, water coolers, and general office banter to the point where their idea of an ideal workplace is a bunch of soundproof cubicles with auditors tracking employees every move to make sure they are as efficient as possible.Thank you, BC. Your post made my point. Quote from: Geek-9pm on May 09, 2012, 11:40:51 PM Thank you, BC. Your post made my point. You express disdain for this feeling of apathy. But you have not provided any arguments about why it matters. If something isn't worth caring about than a feeling of apathy towards it is sensible.I saved my friends marriage by formatting his HDD. (it was loaded with adult content)I formatted my HDD and my English mark rose 5%.
