Data Disaster Scale Frightens ChildrenWell-timed for Halloween, Ontrack Data Recovery has unleashed their
"Data Disaster Scale" to let system administrators
hiding under their bedcovers assign a numeric value to all the
scary goblins out to destroy their data.
From the Frankenstein of file or email deletion,
to the Godzilla of
"server destroyed and backup fails",
the scale covers it all,
possibly enabling future bragging rights such as
"Yeah, well we had an 8.5 just last week!" OK, it's not really news, and the suggested remedies culminate rather
predictably in
"Hey, why not call us to fix your problem?"
But it's still a cute press release,
and constantly reminding people that their data is going to disappear
someday is regrettably a required chore in the backup and data recovery business.
