You are right, the CLOUD COMPANY should have had backups. I guess you didn’t bother to read beyond the headline. The actual issue was for users of the iPad & iPhone versions of mobile Lightroom who had NOT synced their image files to Adobe Creative Cloud storage. So Adobe Creative Cloud had backups if the dumb users had bothered to sync their files to CC. If they had done so their image files would have been recoverable. -- Regards, Savageduck Technical issues, bankruptcy, hacking. All put cloud storage in-doubt. While triple redundancy sounds good, a lot of smaller companies opt for cloud systems because they don't want ANY internal infrastructure/or I.T. costs. Unacceptable risk for any company. There's no problem with outsourcing services, including backups, but relying on a 'cloud' solution alone (whether for convenience or cost) is pretty dumb. OTOH, I use cloud storage for a simple reason: convenience. All of my active business (and much of my personal financial) data is available to me wherever I am. But it's backed up separately and often. Regarding Adobe, they are a software company who make utilities for creatives. Storage is not their core expertise - it is a market access vehicle. No wonder they have problems. However, Adobe isn’t having problems with Creative Cloud storage, that works just fine. Really? Didn't they have a massive data breach last year? We are talking about the lates two updates to Lightroom for iPad& iPhone. The one which caused the problem, and the one which fixed the problem. Through that issue Adobe didn’t have a problem with Creative Cloud storage. Irrelevant. It's a gear in the machine. Their machine broke. Again. The “massive data breach” last year had nothing to do with Creative Cloud storage, but certainly accessed some account data. “massive” is subjective. Of some 60+ million subscribers 7.5 million accounts were affected. Joseph Stalin lives on. The vulnerable data included email addresses, products subscribed to, account creation date, subscription & payment status, local time zone, member ID, time of last login, and whether or not the subscriber was an Adobe employee. that was on October 19 2019, and the database was secured the same day. Adobe issued a statement to subscribers stating the following: "At Adobe, we believe transparency with our customers is important. As such, we wanted to share a security update. Late last week, Adobe became aware of a vulnerability related to work on one of our prototype environments. We promptly shut down the misconfigured environment, addressing the vulnerability. The environment contained Creative Cloud customer information, including e-mail addresses, but did not include any passwords or financial information. This issue was not connected to, nor did it affect, the operation of any Adobe core products or services. We are reviewing our development processes to help prevent a similar issue occurring in the future." The problem reported in this thread is isolated to mobile Lightroom users who had not synced their image files to Adobe CC. All files synced to Adobe CC remain intact, and recoverable. Execution means - all - of the parts working. “Execution” Who said anything about execution? Execution in business is making all the parts work and delivering what you said you would deliver in the manner you said you would deliver it. Adobe failed and their customers lost files. Yes, the customers should protect their own data. I've made that clear enough. I think some of the pros who lost all their photos might be thinking about execution, too. If they weren't making backups of their work they can hardly be called "pro”. Well I agree with that. But they can call themselves that. Delusion is not that rare. |
