[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.

I'd also say that if there's no backup for It, it does not exist.

And if you haven't tested recovery, it doesn't exist either.
