It's so not link-baity, it's trying to change stuff for the better... I tried emailing them before, they palmed me off and ignored me to such an extent that we didn't have a choice... either go public about it or shuffle off and change hosts at great cost and pains to ourselves.
they could at least have called us!
- thaumaturgy 14y agoI agree, ServerBeach screwed the pooch on this. But, the link-baity part is in pointing this out as a problem with the DMCA, when the actual problem is ServerBeach. You do have backups, I hope? You can just be up and running on a new provider within a day or so?
- farms 14y agoMany and numerous backups, but moving ~2m blogs (there's at least 750k splogs that live in dbases but dont show on our numbers) 'aint that easy!
- DanBC 14y agoJust out of interest, but when is the acceptable answer to this question "No"?
- thaumaturgy 14y agoI wasn't asking so that I could judge him; I was asking so that I could better understand his situation.
- DanBC 14y agoSorry, I wasn't meaning to imply anything. In the past I would always have said "You must have backups, always, no exceptions". But I realised when reading your post that there must be some businesses that don't have backups. Some of those have made a rational sensible decision. And I'm trying to work out where the cut off is between explaining to a customer that their data has gone and buying a bunch of drives for yet another rack.
- thaumaturgy 14y agoNo worries. In my experience, most businesses don't have backups, or adequate ones, usually because it's not a high enough priority (either because of funds or time) up until disaster hits. I've mostly gotten over giving people grief for not having backups when fate finally catches up with them, so that's why I was asking. I don't understand your last sentence.
