Mistakes do happen… Let’s not become desensitized to the fact that technology was after all, created by humans, and humans do in fact, err. Good thing for owning up to the mistake instead of covering up or using the “beta” status tag as an excuse.

Daily backups? are you guys still living in the 90s? its 2009. Hourly backups and snapshots are dirt simple now, not to mention you can outsource all this stuff. Im guessing they skipped all the unit tests also…

Check out the new interface over at online backup site MyOtherDrive.com. We’ve redone the whole site to make it more appealing to help sell our already solid functionality.

Thanks,

yikes, what a mess. Hopefully, they’ve gotten the major screw-up out of their system and they can move on!

It takes a lot of guts to handle such a situation.. most guys can crack up under pressure.. it’s good that you have come back strong and are using this as a learning opportunity. Given that the burnt child dreads the fire, this will only make imindi safer and stronger..

This stuff is just nuts, magnolia too…

I’m a one man shop and manage to back up the site, the user accounts, everything, a few times a day. It’s not hard.

I wish imindi comes back even stronger after this episode. I felt that some of the comments were really harsh on them. Mistakes happen, thankfully it was not as critical as someone’s bank details

Good luck imindi!

I’ve had so many nightmares about this sort of thing, that our procedures are uber tight.

It’s too easy to run a single bad line of SQL and wipe, or corrupt, tons of data.

Thing is, the more your site is used, the more often you should back up. So as soon as you get a Techcrunch hit, and your load has diminished – back up! You just got a boatload of new users, don’t risk loosing them…make your “checkpoint” now.

…knock on wood…
