I hate when I make stupid mistakes. I’m starting the morning off restoring files from backup tape. It could be worse though… We could be without a backup system at all.
Which actually reminds me of a kind of bizarre story…
A friend of ours was complaining about the apartment complex that he used to live in. Seems the neighbor kids were listening to a rap song, played loudly and accompanied by cries of “Whoop! Whoop!” at rhythmically appropriate intervals. The lyrics were apparently a brief essay about how “Momma has a big ol’ butt!” and how she should “Back it up, back it on up!”
I pointed out that the song was just offering some sound advice for anyone working in information technology… After all, if she hadn’t backed it up, she could be in serious trouble if there were a power outage or a media failure. And for added security, she should try for an offsite backup.
It’d be a shame to lose a big ol’ butt, especially if it was something worth shouting “Whoop! Whoop!” about.
