This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.

    Worth noting that it’s just one particular PBS station.

    Throwing shade at PBS for not adhering to expensive but best practice 3-2-1 rule is Dumb. PBS doesn’t have the money to do things right.

    I hope they’re able to get their data back.

      Nine PBS found an extra $30 million to refurb their headquarters this year. They could have afforded a NAS.

        PBS headquarters is not located in Missouri, where the affected station is.

      You think this issue just fell out of a coconut tree?

      PBS had quite a lot of time before the 2024 Trump administration to get this figured out, and they didn’t.
