Uh, daily backups - kind of a common-sense best-business practice.
Example of a truism: the bigger the government gets the stupider it gets.
AYFKM? For real?
I know a guy who got let go from a construction contractor because he improperly saved everything to his work computer in a section that didn’t get backed up, his computer crashed, and 4 years work was gone.
PING!!!

This is the third interesting story I’ve seen out of Lockheed’s skunkworks in the last year.
The first was the development of a desalination membrane they’ve trademarked perforene. This will collapse the need for energy for desalination—which represents roughly 1/3 of the costs of desalination. The membrane needs more work. So they need more smart young engineers to do the job.

The second big announcement from the skunkworks was that the skunkworks was working on a nuclear fusion device that they hope to have prototyped in 5 years. That’s going to need more young guns to do the grunt work.

The big technological revolutions that will make the 21st century successful—and push vast treasures to their developers — involve desalination cheap enough for agriculture and energy at least 1/2-1/4 the cost of current cheapest coal.
Lockheed is aiming right. Whether they hit the mark remains to be seen.

Now you know why “Military Intelligence” is an oxymoron.
I have better backups for my personal photos and files than Obama’s minions claim to have for anything. This was supposed to be the United States Air Force, not some amateur group like Hillary’s team.
Note: I don’t believe these or Hillary’s lost files claims any more than I believe the “cleaning my gun” excuses for most shootings reported as accidental.
No back-ups? Seriously?
I worked in data processing for 30 years, never saw a situation where large amounts of data were actually lost. About the worst was where we had to go back two or three days and restore data from there. We ran programs to re-insert the newer data and lost nothing permanently. The idea that you lose over a decades worth of data is not believable.
NO way they didn’t have backup. We are fed Bovine scatology constantly.
No backups? Seriously? That is beyond believable. I can see losing a few weeks of recent data, but not years of data. This is deliberate.
Maybe this is a good thing. Probably done by a straight white male Christian.
Click-bait headline. If it were true we wouldn’t be hearing it from this source. If there is any truth to the story it is probably a corrupt index which is easily resolved and probably has already been resolved since the article was placed to drive traffic.
“Back-ups”????
This is computer illiteracy writ large - or a deliberate scheme.
WTF? Backups? Who the hell runs systems like this without offline backups? It’s sysadmin 101. First thing, before you load production data is to make sure your backup regimen is up and running.
Do you smell fish?
Copy the data, sell to the highest bidder, erase the original data from the Air Force computers.
TWA Flight 800.?
Lois Lerner hard drive.
Hillary Hard Drive
How many more hard drives and servers will be ‘wiped’ I mean crash, when Obama leaves office?
The Babylonians wrote their history on clay and stone tables. It appears our government uses the equivalent of a high-tech Etch-A-Sketch.
