A customer just left.
He works for a LARGE organization that shall remain nameless. We fly their project every couple of years. The exact same area. We have done that for 30 years. In the last 10 years we have the digital files of the project and we never throw anything away.
Their big big boss wanted to look at some small areas to see the changes and plan for a new project. We last flew it for them in December 2012. They could not retrieve one single image. The files were either lost or corrupted. They likely spend more in a month for data storage that we spend in a decade.
They came in for me to copy the 2012 files to their thumb drive. It was just over 6 gig of data.
We are not exactly IT gurus but RAID storage is a pretty simple concept but beyond their grasp.
That good news is they want it flown again next spring.
