Okay. Well, FU and this stupid rabbit chasing a ding’d hard drive. Super easy to get the info off one of those.
However, the larger issue is where the information was contained for the purpose of disaster recovery and continuity.
Her work product would be stored on a raid or a bank of independent hard drives in at least two different modular units, in the same data center.
It also stands to reason given the size of the IRS, the complexity of their network and laws requiring back up and logical redundancy that her work product would be stored at other data centers as well.
My simple email from a rather large firm is available always at data centers on shore and off shore.
How is it the IRS can’t recall her work product or that of at least 6 other people at IRS?
Wouldn’t her ability to perform her job be impaired, as well, any documents germain to a legal proceeding?
No way her work product is gone-0-la...
We haz no SANz and no NetBackupz. KMA. ;p
