Ivy Tech's IT Team has unintentionally deleted several students and professors from the online grade system, causing quite a panic. I am one of the students who is affected by this issue. No one knows what the IT workers were doing at the time, and people (especially the administration) are very angry right now.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Sounds normal I'd say.

They were taking backups, right?
 

Right?...

GeneralRe: IT Fail.memberPualee5 Oct '12 - 5:13 
Backups are no good if you can't restore them... Laugh | :laugh:
 
Everyone takes backups, but who ever tests the restoration process?

Purdue did something similar, abet they actually deleted all of the databases. The only backup they has was made by a guy who had joined earlier that day!
