Re: ITS BACK UP!
Ok here is what happened.
Due to new staff on board with technical backgrounds, conversations were restarted involving things like servers, upgrades, and policies such as backups and assigning caps on some services. Someone didnt knock on virtual wood or something because Murphy got wind of our plans. In the middle of the night the system stopped responding. We were notified by the hosting company that pings were failing. reboot authorized. reboot froze. reloading of the OS to the second installed harddrive authorized. system came up (but of course no web pages or anything). scan of the initial harddrive (which takes a LOOoonnngg time) showed over 90% of the files were recoverable. Between backups and files from the old harddrive things should get fully back in swing soon. Lesson learned; never forget to appease Murphy.
