Yesterday: A DBA’s backup song
YESTERDAY (to be sung to the tune of the Beatles’ song – Yesterday):
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay
Now my database has gone away

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly,
There’s not half the files there used to be
And there’s a deadline
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say

Now my data’s gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
Thought all my data was here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

Here is a Youtube video of the song.
