Why we do backups

We had someone leave our office this week. He ended his employment here effective Dec. 1. Before he left, he decided to clean up his files and stuff and deleted a bunch of stuff that he figured no one would need once he was gone. This morning, a couple of the women I work with showed up at my door looking rather solemn. Turns out, he deleted stuff they need. Good thing we do a full backup of the file server every weekend, eh? I should be able to grab it from last week’s backup, but figuring out what they need, and what other people need, and what they don’t, might keep me a little more occupied than I thought I was going to be today.. 🙂
