back up horror stories

[kelley]

first, anyone remember julian's (from the UK; sociology of music diss) 
email address.  i recall that he migrated to a provider in the UK, begins 
with a B, had some problems with a hackers early last summer...  i ask 
because julian had a funny story about someone who had his diss stored in 
about 5 different ways.

anyway, i'm looking for (i don't) backup (my files) horror stories.  if you 
have any funnies or not so funnies to share, let me know.  i might tell the 
one about bad subjects listers getting resubbed because bad list admin 
didn't back up the subscriber list as they should.  some of you probably 
remember how  Carenegie's e-server would go down for days.  when it went 
back up, a bunch of people, who'd managed to get unsubbed after months of 
being unable to, would automagically find themselves getting the dreaded 
mail from the bad subjects list.  heh.

thanks,
