[slight rant] This is a reminder to be careful with data in the "cloud" (lemmy.zip)

My organization just lost a entire email account full of emails needed for a law suite.

What happened was me or someone else (we don't know who) accidently deleted a gsuite account a few months ago. This account was from a employee who pasted away a few years back. We didn't realize that it was deleted until we needed it.

I like many people I had the misconception that data in the "cloud" can not be deleted. I was entirely wrong. We are now in some serious dodo and I don't know what we are going to do.

A law firm not using email archiving? That's just plain negligence.

Law firms are the worst. They think they are the law so don't give a shit. I have a family member working at one at the moment. So many illegal things they do it's astounding.
