First place (Prizes: Headphones JBL Tune 500 + annual license Acronis True Image 2019 Cyber Protection with 1TB of cloud storage) I took alex-first.livejournal.com with epic history data rescue on New Year's night and two more no less epic History:
"- in 2003 or 2004 for the New Year, on December 31 wild fakap happened at work. Was a great drinking bout, everything is already pretty drunk and going home (3-4 hours before NG) I, looking round servaki noticed that "something HDD light on a server long enough lit.. those. the constant reference to the screws. " I turn on the console, taskmenedzher (Windows NT Server).. God, on a server running IIS rights was launched some beast that corny infects all files exe, zip.. Naturally, all nailed down and began emergency rescue. Bakap were file, but not the system. System backup is regular means Windows and.. bakap was old :( Unfolding image distribtiva, service pack, search the damaged and live, vykovyrivanie of the necessary files and distributions substitution infected.. It was a complete Achtung - at more than 1,000 customers will not operate a website, through which they get online, the resources are not available, some distributions Porush also have.. In general, the boss also stayed and helped, and then when we are raised, and started took me home 18 minutes (when the normal road without traffic jams takes about 30 minutes), and, more importantly, he had the clink of glasses and up! That was epic. :-)
- in the mid-90s I was the board (the BBS), she was wearing a lot of small, but very valuable at the time the files (several thousand). The screw was 170 Mbyte Quantum IDE.. and something she strongly pressed crunching and sometimes podvisal computer. After another moment of suspension completely demolish table FAT. With the help of Norton Utilites vosstanovny was torn down and found all the folders, but the size accordingly lost files (Rounded to the cluster size up), so the heap of files, text files turned into a bunch garbage... and I all night through DosNavigator restoring the size and date of the file, the benefit I had was a list of all the files lying on the board (which specifies the file size!). No sleep that night I ran Bordeaux with fully restore the content! But the next night the same thing happened, and there was already a full fakap, I had no strength to recover a number of files.. and the board closed :( A week later, I found out that the reason for this loss was the.. poor contact at the IDE-loop :-(
- well, the first test of strength I had on the first or second week in a new job: for some reason fell InterBase and Porush table.. Traffic stopped be counted, the company began to incur losses, and I like new :-) Odmin that InterBase before only heard began to understand it. I found how to lift the backup is found where it was.. but I realized that the backup is not going to help us, as it is banal.. broken. Then I went to study how to raise what was left of the base. I understood that this is done in several stages, and.. I was able to recover everything and at least start the service database. Then I began to watch what and how, what are alive table which data, etc. In the end, I ran, losses were minimal. I learned InterBase in a baptism of fire, and then have learned to build upon the foundation for the new demands of business and, more importantly, make a script for bakap and automated testing for suitability of fresh bakap :-) This is my "probation" has been completed ahead of schedule and I was finally passed on job :-)"
Second place (Prizes: external battery XIAOMI POWER BANK 2SRST 10000MAH + annual license Acronis True Image 2019 Cyber Protection with 1TB of cloud storage) took airless.livejournal.com with the history of salvation album "Zimove animals ":
"Nothing more epic with a musician than the recording of the album and its subsequent destruction in nearly finished form on the HDD, can not occur.
This has happened to many, I know that, and with colleagues from the "DDT", for example.
The same thing happened to me when I own crooked hands something worked with sections adjacent disk, but completely blocked the boot record from the one on which there was work going on about a year. The disk was broken into sections, but the hands did not want to straighten. Attempts to restore the loader, I jammed it a few more times.
To hell with them with their own parties and arrangements - can recall and replay. But here's the call session musicians - honestly pay again. And get on the cap from the director.
It is good that we have in St. Petersburg is one of the oldest and best data recovery firms.
Doubly good that the office of work friends. They showed me a (free!) A wonderful software, makes it possible to find lumps of data logic and continue to look for file fragments. As a result, after two or three days lopacheniya work was restored, albeit with a number of artifacts in the audio files. Today, these artifacts would be called a fashionable word "glitch".
And in those years, the glitch was not needed, and we just finished writing humbly lost and issued a double, by the way, the album. Including on tape.
The band was called "Zimove Beast" album - "The things with their names / Return of the registered things" in the computer stood Pentium 166 MMX".
Third place (Prizes: Creative set of socks, "a week" + annual license Acronis True Image 2019 Cyber Protection with 1TB of cloud storage) ranked by Yandex. Zen Sergei Chebotarev epic story with finding a way to restore the hard disk drive on a fault in the sound Youtube video:
"The chief somehow screw dead. Recent kopii- six months ago. I thought I'd throw all. But! On tytrube found a video, which shows that you just jammed spindle crank arms. And did - lose something has still nothing. I opened, cranked, closed. I launched and, lo and behold (!) Works. Managed to copy the contents of 98.9%, before the screw is finally dead.
And now the most interesting - clip on Youtube found the sound!
Those. in the video, the sound died screw was the same, and only on that basis and decided to open."
Fourth place (Prize: an annual license Acronis True Image 2019 Cyber Protection with 1TB of cloud storage) ukiwa.livejournal.com:
"Backups - evil! When computers were large, small wheels and writing sdromy expensive, I about once a month went to the familiar backup to sdrom. Well, once on the way back, I crashed and banged himself on the asphalt drive. That is not to go backup - nothing would have been there. Disks of those years are still all alive, including those purchased to replace the deceased".
fifth place (Prize: an annual license Acronis True Image 2019 Cyber Protection with 1TB of cloud storage) amborazzi.livejournal.com:
"At the dawn of computerization, in one office, HP bought a small database server for 1C. Server lifted, 1C base turns. I decided to make a mirrored raid array with two hard drives for reliability. I ran up and... as it turned out, "Through the Looking Glass," an empty hard disk for one that was information. When he realized his mistake, it was too late. It has already been created perfectly running RAID 1 of two completely blank hard disk. ((".
