My cow-orker just pulled a stupid one. We have a backup system here, and it works on a weekly cycle- any error over a week old doesn’t matter, because we do weekly full backups and daily partial backups. One backup in a remote site had an error- a simple ‘the file is open, so we can’t copy it’ error. My cow-orker and I check the logs daily for any problems. She claimed to find a “tape format not valid” error, or something like that. I could not find said error, and when I peeked over the cube wall to look, I noticed why. The error did happen. IN MARCH of LAST year! This is not the oddest one today either…
Anyone else have any odd cow-orker stories?
WTS- hoping for a stray asteroid…
