A fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) Daejeon headquarters destroyed the government’s G-Drive cloud storage system, erasing work files saved individually by some 750,000 civil servants.

    The G-Drive has been in use since 2018, requiring government officials to store all work documents in the cloud instead of on personal computers

    However, due to the system’s large-capacity, low-performance storage structure, no external backups were maintained

    I’m equal parts exasperated and unsurprised because “automatic backups” were 100% part of the sales pitch to move everything to the cloud
