Old, but not covered here yet: "Mozilla has admitted to losing months of valuable user data when a member of staff accidentally formatted a server.
When using Firefox users can report any websites that fail to render correctly using the "Report Broken Web Site" option in the menu. This data is used by Mozilla to improve and refine the application. "Well, any sites reported as broken in the last three months? Yeah... you might want to report it again," suggests Mozilla engineer Mark Smith on his personal blog. During the extremely busy Firefox 3 launch day, which brought many Mozilla servers to their knees, the reporting tool was moved to a secondary server. Unfortunately, nobody thought to move it back afterward." --clip-- Ooops, and then... he just formatted the server.
