Horrible Weekend
Well I am just waking up for a short coma. Basically, I went into work yesteday (Saturday) at 7:00am to move some SQL databases to a new server and to move all of our servers to a new rack in the closet. At about 11:30 pm we were able to start turning the servers back on. One of the last servers we started was our local file server and that was when the drama began. The server gave us some dreaded MOBO beeps and that is when the raid controller told us that one of our hard drives had failed. Thats right folks! At the end of 15 hours of work we get hit with a complete server crash. Luckily, we use Iron Mountain backup systems and we did have a full system backup Friday night. At 5:00am this morning we finally got the restore from backup started. Our NAS device was giving us errors and we had to call support. Try to get support at 4:00am in the morning on Sunday. As of now we just sit and wait. We have to decrypt and restore 75 gigs of data before 8:00am on Monday morning from a NAS device across the network. Based on the current rate, I am not sure we are going to make it. I am sitting and hoping….
On a side note, I changed the site theme again. I am trying to decide whether or not it looks girly.
