I suppose I shouldn't laugh (and I do feel bad for the users who lost their content), but the Google ad on the right side of the page? Insult to injury, even if the injury in question was pretty much self-inflicted.





Backstory for those who missed it: Journalspace.com apparently lost all of their data recently because they were relying on RAID rather than doing regular backups of their database. (That's bad.) They're strongly implying that the initial data loss might've been sabotage, but who knows?

$5 says they had a drive fail in their array months ago, and when the second one went they were done.

And I love the irony of the ad ;-)

Well, they are kind of the poster children for "Back Up Your Damn Data[tm]" at this point, no? ;)

Hm. I don't think I've backed up in a year or two... (winces)
