Yes, I've seen that happen, from each side of the user/admin fence. But that's not what was reported; it didn't say anything like "...said that anything received since the night before is unrecoverable". > That's overlooking the fact that even if you *have* a backup, > restoring it may be interesting - [...] Also true. And, y'know what? I don't care. As custodians of their user's data, it's their *job* to deal with those issues. (Or not, depending on the SLA-or-moral-equivalent, but that too isn't what the report I saw made it sound like.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
