Microsoft Recovers Some Sidekick Data

Microsoft Recovers Some Sidekick Data

Microsoft says it has performed data recovery for Sidekick users who saw personal information accidentally taken away earlier this week.
Redmond also provided a few more details about what went wrong with the servers that stored the cloud-based data, which includes contact lists, notes, tasks, calendar appointments, photographs and gaming high scores.

A number of Sidekick users suffered data loss last Saturday after a server crash at Microsoft Subsidiary Danger. At tha time, Microsoft believed the data would be unrecoverable. Fortunately, by Monday, the company changed its tune saying some data recovery was possible. It now looks like only a small number of Sidekick users will suffer permanent data loss.
