Staff on Post Office 2 – Data from Tape

IT Services staff have been working to restore Post Office 2 but have now exhausted all options other than recovering the data from tape. Unfortunately the data on the tape dates back to 19 October – so staff on Post Office 2 will lose 3 weeks of email. Advice will be provided to departments and individuals on Post Office 2 who face the loss of some data.

IT Services have not had to recover email from tape before and are taking professional advice on the best way forward in order to prevent further risk to data and the Groupwise system.
