“If the thief simply wanted to view the data [1 Terabyte], he would not be concerned about the existence of backups and maybe there are some lying around, provided somebody has documented their whereabouts. But if the thief wanted to deny the data to others then he/she would have taken care to abstract the sole existing copy. If that’s what happened, then you’d really have to look hard at the organization itself, because somebody knew just exactly how to flush something down the memory hole.” -Wretchard

“…I have real problems with this one. Most data sources are AT THE LEAST RAID5.” –Robohobo

The Clinton Crime syndicate looks to be computer savvy. And, they are still in the White House.

Yes, striped with parity (raid 5) requires at least three disks and any disk that fails can be rebuilt. It’s odd such a large amount of data is missing.

Maybe, the Nation Archives was wrong about it being backed-up and no harm done from Sandy Berger’s thefts.

I am suspicious. The Clinton’s can be very thorough.
