They might be singing this song now. (To the tune of 'Yesterday' from the Beatles).

    Yesterday,
    All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
    Now my database has gone away.
    Oh I believe in yesterday.

    Suddenly,
    There’s not half the files there used to be,
    And there’s a deadline
    hanging over me.
    The system crashed so suddenly.

    I pushed something wrong
    What it was I could not say.
    Now my data’s gone
    and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

    Yesterday,
    The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
    Thought all my data was here to stay,
    Now I believe in yesterday.
