Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I've had a bit of an altercation with a ladder and a steep bank. Deep Heat, paracetamol, and red wine have been administered.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
How easy can they make it to delete your entire work email history for the last 12 years?
80,000 mails deleted in seconds. Oops. Then, if the deletion takes seconds why does restoring from a backup take hours? |

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I got most back from a backup by the looks of it, only lost the latest 25,000 or so.
I bet no one will even notice that I can't find anything. For some reason there is one folder in my archive that doesn't seem to have backed up, so I have loads of stuff up to August 2014 then nothing. Hey ho. There is at least beer in the shed. |

Glad to hear you are OK(ish). Hope you are better soon. Could have been much worse.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Reason it takes seconds to delete and hours to restore is because when you delete a file the data is not erased, the file gets a tag attached to tell the system that the space is available to be overwritten if it is required, this happens very quickly, but when you restore a backup it actually has to transfer the data from backup media to wherever the emails or files are stored, literally bit-by-bit, and ironically the backup is pretty much sure to be overwriting the files that were deleted so quickly.
Don't you just love computers.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Fortunately my rashness in clicking delete only affected an archive folder which by definition is stuff for which I don't really have further need, only as a security blanket or to impress others with how good my memory is.
As clearing my folders is the last thing I do when I finish each day the risk to my inbox is minimal. I operate to inbox zero everyday. |

We have Mimecast so nothing is ever really gone.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I just noticed that the parking light on the bike was on and had been since I parked up 24 hours ago. Now I have to half dismantle the bike to get at the battery to recharge it. Bummer.
