edwardwhite1626 on 20 Dec 16Have you ever seen the movie Toy Story 2? It might shock you to hear that this film was nearly lost for good during its production stage. Just like any other close call regarding a potential backup disaster, this film almost didn't make it to the box office ultimately because of poor backup practices. In fact, someone accidently ran a command that caused the files of the film to begin disappearing. Those in charge could have done something to salvage the film had their backups been in order, but unfortunately, they noticed that the movie file backups had been failing for over a month! By the time they needed the backups, it was too late. This story could have resulted in a huge disaster. However, a wise director had saved copies of the movie files to a home computer, and the film was salvaged. Whew! Talk about saving the day!
