When the data centre caught fire at the end of last month, apparently 858 TB of important data was lost as no backups were kept (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/109799-858tb-gone-forever-south-korea-data-center-fire.html\" target=\"_blank\">Techspot<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Allegedly, backups simply <em>couldn&#8217;t <\/em>be kept, due to the G-Drive system&#8217;s massive capacity. But it gets worse. It turns out that before the fire, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety had apparently instructed government employees to store everything in the G-Drive cloud and not on their office PCs.<\/p>\n<p>The blaze began on the 26th of September, impacting a total of 647 systems and completely destroying 96 different systems hosted within NIRS. The G-Drive system is the only one that cannot be recovered from backups. A source within the Ministry of Personnel Management\u2014one of the governmental departments most affected by this data loss\u2014told The Chosun Daily, &#8220;It\u2019s daunting, as eight years\u2019 worth of work materials have completely disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Six days after the blaze, only about 10% of the systems affected had been brought back online\u2014and there has been a significant level of disruption as a result. For example, the \u2018National Happiness Card,\u2019 used for paying childcare fees in South Korea, was rendered non-functional for a period of time. However, other key public-facing systems avoided the fire purely by virtue of its hardware being housed on another floor at NIRS.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"szY6BdKABjgCStQFv24mmS\" name=\"GettyImages-489058051.jpg\" alt=\"Computer hard disks, electronic scrap, collected inside a bin\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/a-data-center-fire-in-south-korea-sees-858-tb-of-government-files-and-eight-years-worth-of-work-stored-in-the-cloud-go-up-in-smoke.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Manfred Rutz via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The important thing to remember about cloud data services is that physical hardware is part of the equation somewhere, and that means it <em>can <\/em>fail.
