It’s a fairly safe bet that on any given day, at least a good dozen IT departments are trying to convince their bosses and/or users about the vital importance of backups. Unfortunately, it seems that the argument was lost in the South Korean government, as the institution has completely lost the sizable amount of 858 terabytes of data, with 0 bytes of backups.
Bright side: Unbackuped Korea in the future will not only learn how to back-up, but probably will also decrease the amount of data it logs about citizens. Double-win!
