Cloud Data Accidentally Deleted


It's the most basic fear for users of cloud services: Losing your data.

An engineer for UK-based XCalibre, in "tidying up" before upgrading to address capacity issues, deleted one of the main storage volumes used by the FlexiScale cloud, reports The Register. It was down for at least two days before restoring "read only" access to it from backup files. But there wasn't enough capacity to create a complete duplicate, so the company is in the process of creating a new disk structure.
