SOL. Use your source control system to retrieve the source code - any establishment/ developer that does not use a source control system is asking for trouble.

Use your tape backups to retrieve the source code - any establishment/ developer/ administrator that does not use backups is asking for trouble.

Hmm, you used dejanews to post here, but cannot use it to read followups ?

Tell your administrators to get a newsfeed as you could glean important tips about such things as source control and tape backups.
