This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.

    It’s interesting that the data center still physically has the data, but is refusing to let PBS access it because PBS wasn’t the customer. The (now defunct) data management company was technically the data center’s customer, so PBS is basically going to have to get a court order to tell the data center that PBS owns the data.
