The grades are a lie.

The average, half witted tech should know about backing up data thats as important as grades.

@kate: From what I read, I think there was a backup plan in place, but it wasn’t something you’d expect from a large IT infrastructure like EVSC.

Do we know if there really was no plan in place? Perhaps there was a good backup plan, but it was not being followed…that happened at U of E a few years ago. The daily, weekly and monthly backups were not being done so when there was an equipment failure several months of data was lost. The person who was supposed to have been doing the backups was fired on the spot.

I am writing this while on vacation in South Carolina. Would you believe it that when I have mentioned “Evansville” down here — two people told me about this fiasco? It must have been reported on CNN or Drudge or something.

There are companies that specialize in retrieving data that was considered permanently lost. One of them is http://www.drivesavers.com.

Whether it is a hard drive, a disk array, an erased tape — whatever — they can bring the data back.

Citizens of Vanderburgh County, whether they be students, taxpayers, parents or anybody, should demand an investigation of this situation.
