Over the weekends, our team has been migrating redirected “My Documents” user data from one server to another. I don’t know the full details, but this had been going smoothly, but somewhere during this weekend’s migration, the network connection between the old and new servers was broken.
Once connectivity was restored, the process was resumed (or, I assume, restarted). The result was user folders are now cluttered with duplicated copies files, most prefixed with “2010-03-26 04-47 Copy of <filename>”, some with “Copy (2) of”, some with different timestamps (04-50), and so on. The team was unsure how to proceed with this, and users came in Monday morning to find the result. Words have been exchanged, and that’s unfortunate, but how do we recover from an incident like this?
