The G-Drive has been in use since 2018, requiring government officials to store all work documents in the cloud instead of on personal computers

However, due to the system’s large-capacity, low-performance storage structure, no external backups were maintained

I'm equal parts exasperated and unsurprised because "automatic backups" were 100% part of the sales pitch to move everything to the cloud

Just fyi, I think you mean exasperated- exacerbated means worsened/increased

Good catch. Fixed

This is actually kinda crazy. It just goes to show how a lot of infrastructure we take for granted is a lot more fragile than one would believe. Kinda concerning. At least this isn't technically critical infrastructure, I guess?

it should be considered 'critical' infrastructure tho not too much. all sorts of gov services were down because of this lol, including texting/video calls (voice calls ok) to 119 (911 equivalent).

Whaaaaat. Unexpected fallout indeed. What a mess...
