Witte, Photographer, Photo Editor Cincinnati | OH | USA | Posted: 6:17 PM on 02.02.11 ->> http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/02/technology/flickr_deletes_account/index.htm... I have no sympathy since I have a 2TB Lacie drive that's sitting here nuked, but still, I'm a little surprised Flickr didn't already have some sort of safeguard in place.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Guess they never heard of file recovery software... LOL. You would think they would do at least a weekly, if not daily backup of their user accounts. Granted I've only had to do this three times in 10 years, my ISP does daily backups and can restore files or folders within hours of my initial phone call. OTOH, it isn't surprising given the cost to maintain a backup system that receives 4 million new files a day.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
