Lockheed Martin is known for low-balling contracts. You get what you pay for...
Despite this, I find the entire story implausible to say the least. Nobody has 12 years of data on one system. There are grandfather, fathers and sons on tape somewhere.
Sounds like most of us at FR know what is going on. This is my business. Multiple geographically dispersed archives is the norm for the big cloud purveyors, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Lockheed probably has just as much redundancy. This typifies the standard assumption that the media will not question unless obeying a political order, and the professionals will keep quiet because they are frightened of the FCC and the obvious attack by both political parties on 1st Amendment rights - not privileges but God-given rights.
This smells like the Lois Lerner lost email misdirection presumable the result of her laptop disk failure. IRS rules forbid local email and is Outlook server based, with redundant geographically dispersed servers. Her emails were only on her laptop if she were breaking government regulations. People are so gullible as to accept the senior government executives would protect their communications by saving them on a laptop, hundreds of which are stolen from cars and officers every month. Lerner’s emails were stored on redundant databases, encrypted and stored all over the world. Accessing her email would have left an audit trail, sadly much more secure than our voting tabulations. We have a government full of criminals, most of whom are probably appalled, but afraid to tell the truth because their families would be put a risk by “a private armed force, larger and better equipped than our military”(Barack Obama speaking to the SEIU in 2008).
You think the Justice Department will investigate Lockheed after they finish with Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Lois Lerner, and the Hilary email server? Perhaps we could ask Putin, now more trusted by Israel than the U.S., to help expose the truth?
In other news.... all Defense Contractors seem to lost their data due to a corrupted computer file as well.
When asked what was in those files, officials said “well.... it wasn’t records of weapons sales to ISIS or Al Qaeda, or Bin Laden, or the Muslim Brotherhood. It sure wasn’t that. Can we just move on ?”
Quick go look in Hitlery’s bathroom closet....
Please send all responses to Damascus with a duplicate copy to Kabul.
ok, I had to laugh when I got to the part of ‘office disputes’ (he took my stapler!! she used my white-out without asking!!)(remember when the stapler was the most important piece of office equipment?). If those documents from which data originate are subject to a 10-year or so retention we’ll still be good to go, but they might have to hire some old-sters who could rekey the data in record time.
Automated backups of databases? The database becomes corrupt, no one notices for a while, the backups are taken daily.
Then someone spots a problem, and they go to restore from backup. Then they discover that the corruption is present in all the backups too.
book mark
I smell oracle software ..... or crap. Same same...
yeah, right... please
How would ‘cloud computing’ have helped here?
It just make sense that the AF should be able to do "Cloud Computing" since there have extensive organizational history with clouds....
Mkay. I run into a lot of people who don’t understand that the ‘cloud’ is just a bunch of servers in some warehouse. They think that it’s in the Internet itself.
However, I can’t understand how LM didn’t have any backups or why they weren’t running raids.
Unfortunately Lockheed Martin’s computer works section sucks. They screwed up a major program at the National Archives to the point of a reported $10-40 MILLION DOLLARS.
And it didn’t work.
Ping.
BS. Backing up data is IT 101.
...and they lived happily ever after.

This story has been updated with information on the Air Force’s data recovery.
The U.S. Air Force has recovered case files after a major database crash.
“After aggressively leveraging all vendor and department capabilities, the Air Force made a full recovery of the Automated Case Tracking System database, the Air Force inspector general system of record for all records related to IG complaints, investigations and appeals,” the Air Force said, in a statement Wednesday.
More than 100,000 case files dating back to 2004 were feared lost after the database crash.
ACTS was designed to track all kinds of administrative requests pertaining to the Air Force, according to a report from Ars Technica. The system is charged with keeping records of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, congressional inquiries, and any investigations into complaints of fraud, abuse, waste, among other issues.
The information in the database could potentially be relevant in years to come. ACTS is operated by independent contractor Lockheed Martin.
