Re: Accidentally Lost Data -- MIDRANGE-L

Jeesh.... I feel bad when someone's report gets smudged or torn or our
backups run 15 minutes late.

Oh, and here's my favorite part:

     Former Revenue Commissioner Bill Corbus said no one got into
trouble for the
     incident.

     "Everybody felt very bad about it and we all learned a lesson.
There was no
     witch hunt," Corbus said.

I guess that's the difference between working for a company and working
for the people.

Hard to believe there was only one backup tape.

It is clearly a case of bad policy and bad implementation.  I wonder

if the good

citizens of Alaska know about this?  And, why is it only getting

publicity now when

it happened in July?
