Google accidentally deleted a $125 billion pension fund's account
About half a million customers of the Australian fund UniSuper were locked out of their accounts for a week
You're viewing a single thread.
Now I'm wondering if they can recover this from a backup or archive OR if that's going to be an awkward call to their insurance company.
22 8 ReplyWell, if you bothered reading into the second paragraph, you'd have more info:
UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, and service was restored May 2.
So Google doesn't keep (unpaid) backups for it's clients, and the ones UniSuper paid for were deleted along with everything else.

Or a panicked call from their insurance company. "You have a backup, right???"

They're already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.
