How's your Sidekick phone doing today folks? Are you still mad with T-Mobile, Microsoft and Danger for messing up those servers and losing even the backup data? Well it looks like there's a simple explanation. Nobody has officially come up with a statement but it looks like those servers might have been sabotaged.
Here's what an anonymous tipster had to say about the whole matter:
...someone with access to the servers at the datacenter must have inserted a time bomb to wipe out not just all of the data, but also all of the backup tapes, and finally, I suspect, reformatting the server hard drives so that the service itself could not be restarted with a simple reboot (and to erase any traces of the time bomb itself)... If this was an ordinary sort of failure, the service would have come back within a day, so once again, all signs point to sabotage.
That certainly will not make you feel better. Whether the Danger servers were sabotaged or not, one thing is still clear: your data might be lost for good and there's no excuse for that. Will you leave T-Mobile because of the scandal or will you hang on until everything gets sorted out?

This is more false information released by MS to cover their tracks. If MS followed their own SQL 2005 and/or 2008 best practices for data colocation here any scenario including the uber made up timb bomb scenario would be quickly possible to recover from. It's trival to setup one way geodistributed backup systems these days, it's doen all the time in the financial industry. Why MS didn't have this in place is sheer negligence regardless of any sabotage.
