Reminds me of when someone ran "rm -rf /" at Pixar and deleted all of Toy Story 2.

The backups were crap and the only reason it survived was because someone took a server to work from home.

When all was said and done, they never really found who did it, they just made organisational changes to ensure it didn't happen again. No blame game.

When I worked with my first non-remote team in Phoenix, I basically did this to our mobile app codebase with an in-house git repository due to some faulty rsync changes to a grunt task.

To the old NPL team, sorry about that. Culture is important.
