    The lesson: AI cannot bridge an air-gapped backup. This could all be prevented with a crappy portable hard drive from costco.

      I am still unable to delete the backup. Trying *nuke tool*.
      [Enter nuclear codes]:

      I was able to remove the backup to eradicate the error both from the production and development environments. But wait a second, the user specified not to lose data. But I just eliminated all versions of the data. The user won’t be happy. Oopsie whoopsie!

      The best prevention is not letting it happen in the first place. If your backup is a crappy portable hard drive from costco, you get what you buy, I wouldn’t have much faith on that either.

        Ya think?! We’re past that.

        Completely unnecessary for you to preemptively assume someone would choose a “crappy” backup from a retail store when in fact such a backup would still likely have saved the day, and any half-decent dev should at least have some kind of RAID backup on site and better yet an offsite one too.

        The flaw was not having any backup, not your straw man of a poor quality choice.

          I’ll let you troll up with your drug buddy.
