and leave it on the train for someone else to pick and look at.

I'm sure they'd find the collection of images more interesting than the zipped up codebase.

And the advantage is you take your codebase away with you when you finish for reference.

Some clients disable USB, for security reasons.

That's true. Still nothing to stop you zipping it up and emailing it to yourself.

With USB sticks so cheap these days, you can always do personal backups in addition to source control and server backups...

didnt you backup?

I dont care where its placed and who does what - I ALWAYS backup - you cant rely on idiotic people.

1. Restore from personal backup

2. Make song and dance about permie and complain about company backup policy (or lack of)

3. Surf / drink tea for a week

No problem, go back to backup

They don't backup their development environment. It's all server based as well so I have no local copy. But as TBYJ says, looks good from a contract point of view, just a pain in the to re do the work.

Damn you Ruprect :-)

Guys, just do the work again and get paid for it. Be glad that most large organisations are so badly managed nobody will notice or even care anyway.

I was freeing up some space on an overused drive today, and some contractor has just gone mad at me saying I deleted his work. The numpty hadn't checked anything into CVS for over a week!

Er!

You did create a Backup didn't you Badger?

Don't get mad... this is work you'll have to re-do. This is contract security.
