There are two types of people: those who backup, and those have not lost data yet.

[@abhishekanil99]

Can confirm... Source: Lost my data once and now have multiple versions of files I need

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

I used to have tons of gigabytes of downloads in my pc/downloads folder. There was some useless file right on this upper folder, and it came with an uninstaller. I activated the uninstaller to delete this old software. The uninstaller proceeded to delete every single file in pc/downloads. Instead of specifically deleting it's related files, it deleted everything in the directory. I was unable to restore anything except some thumbnails of images. Nowadays, I constantly always download stuff into new folders, never in a root directory. So if anything needs to be deleted I just delete the folder, not use any uninstaller.

[@TrigramThunder]

or, you know, people who just don't have any valuable files that they'd care got deleted. my storage systems are always near empty from all the constant OS reinstalling which absolutely gets me used to not relying on any important information being stored there. so a storage failure is to me about as inconvenient as a fly on your screen might be to you. perks of digital minimalism.

Back in the floppy disk era, I would grab grad students' thesis disks and announce I was going to degauss them, thus permanently wiping all data from them. If they would panic in terror (many did), I would say that I was just joking about degaussing, but maybe you should make backups of your precious data. That was after more than one grad student had to retype their thesis because a massive floppy failure had caused it to be lost. If the data is important enough to panic over the thought of losing it, it is important enough to back up.

[@Twisted_Code]

That is diabolical. This chaotic approach to teaching is among my favorites because emotional stress is a powerful motivator for learning. The main issue with it is fatigue, but for backups I think it's justified.

[@SRHMusic012]

The splat (*) is dangerous with root privilege. There are some nasty surprises when logged in as root in some systems, too. I don't recall on exactly which one, but the current directory dot (.) can be crawled upward in a recursive command, as the parent directory dot-dot (..) is matched by ./.*. Weird behavior, but very bad in some cases, e.g. removing or modifying dot files: rm -r ./.*

The closest I've come to testing this is accidentally nuking a dev server database during a "routine" upgrade at 11pm at night. Upgrade involved getting new version of k8s and the fact that the instance had no SSD assigned to it and was writing to memory was discovered after everything came back blank. Fortunately backups did work, and the worst part of the incident turned out to be the timing. See, 11pm was also when the last coffee shop around closed, meaning I had to do a full manual recovery on gas station coffee. We established better protocol for verifying we had good backups before running upgrades. All of the work on our live server went without a glitch. Startups are fun. Never a dull moment.

Worst moment I had wasn't actually a typo, but still fits the theme of "always have a backup". I was working on a huge arrangement of various songs from a popular television show at the time. It was going to be a gift to a friend that he's (hopefully) have his HS's band play at some point. Well, after working for at least 4 hours straight adding all kinds of notes, edits, and other things, I was about halfway done with the whole thing (I had worked on it for about 6 months before this). Well, I was working on all of this on my laptop in 2014, and my laptop was from a few years earlier (2010 I think): earlier enough that it still had a user removable battery. I had recently replaced the battery since the old one lost its charge capacity. What I didn't do, however, was made sure that the battery had been locked into place. So, I save the file after all this work, and slide the laptop off my lap and put it down on my bed to get a soda or whatever. And... yup you guessed it. The battery came out, shutting the whole thing off, and RIGHT in the middle of saving an entire day's work. I didn't even realize until I came back with my soda. So, I put the thing back in as fast as I could, and boot it back up. I see that my file was still there, but when I go to open it... ERROR: This file is corrupted and cannot be opened. After panicking internally, I remember that I did have a backup on an old hard drive... from over a month ago. I still had the file, but now, over a month's hard work was gone. Still haven't gone back to that file 8 years later.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The reason why even something as NTFS doesn't do move operations. It does copy and delete operations. And only in the end after everything is done does the old file get deleted. If you have a power loss in the middle of operation you don't end up with two half files and a tiny piece between them missing.

Far less extreme, but I was once an admin for an art forum when I was about 13 or 14, and I was known for changing my online name really often. All admins had access to the website, so I'd go into the front page and change my name and the little effects that went with it. One time I messed up, I don't really remember what went wrong, but I ended up replacing every admin and creator's name with mine, and making the background one huge stretched out picture of my avatar. I completely panicked and deleted the whole thing, which was worse, because I didn't copy any of the links or info from the original, so I couldn't even replace it. I literally spent a whole day crying and panicking because I didn't want them to kick me out, because I was an emotional teenager. I lied and said the page got deleted and they ended up just saying, "oh ok, guess well do a new one"

But there was a mistake in my code that locked the content and never unlocked it in some edge cases. I tested the "happy paths" and it worked so I placed it in prodution environment, in a friday. The outcome was *13'000 emails* on *every Dev Team member inbox* (about 7 people), which exceeded the sent email limit the provider offered for the month. So for the rest of the month, no one could send emails using the company address, including important spreedsheets that other systems generated and sent to managers throught an unified system's email account.

I did a similar mistake on a couple hundred player Minecraft server several years ago, where I had to roll back one tiny thing, but I hadn't defined radius for the command, so I accidentally rolled back the whole server, which caused a glitch with the plugin and every single block entity data was corrupted, for example all the chests were emptied. The command couldn't be undone and the server owner didn't have any kind of back ups. Even though it was such a small mistake, I was banned from the server forever. Gladly it's just a game, but I did get quite a few players upset. Actual back ups are quite important even if you have such a roll back system.

Just to add my 2 cents on to this excellent lesson, everybody working on a project should also take responsibility for it. Someone else making the final mistake doesn't mean that you couldn't have prevented it. If anyone else had suggested and/or followed through on making a backup of the database themselves, then the overconfidence of a teenager couldn't have undone all that work. Often, you aren't in a position to actually take the preventative action. But you should suggest it if no one else has. It feels nice to be part of team that covers your back, that catches you when you're about to make a mistake.

[@fetchstixRHD]

That’s the thing about being accountable. If there’s a situation that you can foresee and can take steps to mitigate/avoid but don’t, you can blame the people who actually did the mistake and avoid any consequences, but the fact remains that you could have prevented it yet didn’t. One of the reasons why I dislike the “not my problem” mindset...
