Backup Failure in South Korea

The reason given: The storage structure was too large, the transfer rates too slow. A declaration of bankruptcy. Anyone who decides not to maintain external backups under such conditions is recklessly accepting the irreversible destruction of knowledge.

What is overlooked: Not only bits and bytes were deleted – decisions, contexts, traceability, and control were lost. The Ministry of Personnel Management was particularly hard hit, as it stored all documents exclusively in the Cloud.

The real tragedy, however, is not technical but structural: “96 information systems designated as critical to central government operations” were affected – and no one had shouted “Stop!” loudly enough beforehand. These decisions were made by people. And people looked the other way.

Such cases show us all: IT responsibility is not delegable. Ministries, project leaders, budget providers – they all bear responsibility for digital resilience. And they all must be asked: Who approved this storage without backup? Who cut the budget for a backup? Who gave it the green light?

Such incidents can be prevented – with technical diligence, structural redundancy, and the willingness to object at the right moment.
