The South Korean government’s central document storage system, known as “G Drive”, was reportedly destroyed in the Sept 26 fire at the National Information Resources Service (Nirs) in Daejeon, wiping out the work documents of nearly 191,000 civil servants.

According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety on Oct 1, G Drive was among the 96 systems confirmed to have been directly destroyed by the data centre fire.
G Drive is a cloud-based repository where government employees have been advised to save all work-related documents since 2018, rather than on their computers.
It had never been backed up externally.
“As the system was not backed up externally, all documents stored on the repository have been lost, and there is no way to bring back the lost documents,” director-general Lim Jeong-gyu of the Public Service Bureau said on Oct 1.
The system had been allotted to nearly 191,000 government employees as at August. South Korea has 750,000 public sector officials nationwide.
