Today, I lived through one of those (not only IT) horror stories. It's not over yet, but it’s definitely going to end up in a blog post. It's one of those situations where the 'horror' has already happened or is still going to happen, but this time, I'm the one handling the rescue. I couldn't prevent the disaster itself, but I managed to save the data.
What-a-day!
