Deleted...uh, completely!
Accidental deletion of not only the main HD but also the backup* resulting in a technician needing the tape backup of some very important data. Unfortunately, that copy was found to be unreadable. ~$220,000 later the data was reentered and the mistake corrected. Ooops indeed!

Yes, I too feel pity for this tech...Losing data in any amount is frustrating, but this must have been unbelievable! I can just imagine the sinking feeling......I've had it before, just not in this magnitude!
That's what I call a bad day!
