well, this is not news, lets hear your views my 2 kobo, with storage as cheap as 10 cents per gig/month, i will recommend that developers maintain a script that dumps data to a file and put it in private CDNs then host codes in remote repositories, so even if let's say a politically motivated employee(am not insinuating anything here) makes modifications to an already secure code base, you are able to spot the difference first off, this is no biggie, big tech coys get hacked daily but the ability to recover is what counts. kudos to seun and good to have nairaland back. |

Kudos? I just lost half a year of my life on Nairaland. All my likes, comments and topics. Including my hard-earned Front Page topics, FTC spaces, etc. I am sooooo very pissed right now. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Weekly backup is really needed. Seun need to step up. Last back up was on jan 10 which is too far for a popular site like this. This should be a lesson to seun. 1 Like |

ViktorMartins: Don't know why he can't do a weekly backup. All my followed topics are goneactually, I feel they should have been backing up daily. The commercial value of NL is high and so I am rather surprised that that management did not have an effective recovery scheme in place. I do hope that they have a back up of all our previous posts, likes, accounts etc and that they all get fully restored. |

What nairaland need is a cron job for daily backups. Seun should be master in this, I don't know why this happened |

I do hope that they have a back up of all our previous posts, likes, accounts etc and that they all get fully restored.Seun needs to go for management training, and leadership training. He lacks those two important qualities. Imagine, not being able to address the people giving him his traffic stating what happened n carrying us along; treating us as if we are robots. 3 Likes |

This entire affair reeks of incompetence. I'm actually surprised Nairaland got this far, if its developer doesn't understand redundancy or know how to make regular backups. Instead of explaining what really happened, Seun is telling us it's an "attack". Some NLanders might believe his village people are responsible for the loss of 6 months' data, but not me. The outage and subsequent data loss are probably due to a corrupted hard drive. Or maybe Seun accidentally deleted the site's database. Who knows? I just hope he's learnt from it though. This time, we all came back because there's no alternative... but that can easily change. 2 Likes |

ViktorMartins:I kind of agree, he's a brilliant programmer/software developer (I can attest to that because he's active on the software forums : "stack overflow" ). He does need help, like you said, in areas of management, operations etc. I don't believe he alone can do those duties, so he perhaps needs to hire competent professionals for those functions.
