We've had more than one customer that didn't realize that it's not a good idea to keep backups on the same physical drive as the software. Even had more than one irate IT manager that DEMANDED that we "FIX the OBVIOUS BUG" in our software because he was unable to restore the backup of the data that was stored on the crashed harddisk... Had to fight really hard the temptation to call the guy an idiot.
>>One of our client were using one of Turkey's biggest accounting software. That software were creating folders with company names. Sample you create a company "Mycomp", it were creating all of data files under mycomp folder.
>>Our client's name was acem and their accounttant was created "acem" company. And he decided create a second company for them named "acem.". That accounting software decided as "acem." a different company name and accepted it and created all files overwrite olds. You know acem and acem. are same folders actually. When we called them they just said us "Yes, it's a bug. We will fix it at next release.". I don't know how at Australia but at Turkey at least %50 of small clients don't make backup. So... :)
