Now imagine backups stored on tapes. How many companies would resort to rewinding all of them in search of this single record.

Now imagine backups stored on tapes. How many companies would resort to rewinding all of them in search of this single record.
- rollcat 2y agoEasy: - Rotate old tapes to store the freshest backup (according to retention policy) - Store row ID for each deletion request - Replay deletions during restore Either way you want (or already have) a scrubbing procedure to import production data into a staging environment, so this is not a technical issue.
- pfoof 2y agoYeah during restore. But is this still compliant with GDPR deletion request when you still physically have access to a copy of user's data? I mean, sure, it's very theoretical, you can't prove that Meta or Google doesn't delete your data until a leak.
