Yeah that's a good point. Now that I'm farther in my career i think it is pretty wild they didn't have some kinda back up software or network storage for critical stuff. The only reason I can think of is espionage, we were seriously worried about international espionage. I had to do training for it, we had a picture of Smokey the bear in our break room that said " only you can prevent government espionage". Shit, I just remembered the guy (super rough scruffy looking guy) cried over this, literally cried. Maybe he realized it was probably his ass for that too?
