John,
 
it wouldn't help you this time but we have running most of our servers with Raid-Mirroring and each server has a third disk in standby. This disk is not only here to be replaced if one of the other two disk fails but it is also replaced periodicaly (usualy once per month) with one of the mirror drives.
So if there is a problem on the RAID who has caused a "disaster" we have at all time a running system that will boot within minutes and begin to restore the daily backup files.

Windows. Power went out, for some reason the UPS went into shutdown mode, it appears some thing on the server hung preventing it from shutting down before the UPS shutdown timer expired, the rest is history. Turns out the Ghost image is inconsistent, so I am rebuilding the OS from the ground, will try to do a restore from a backup I made of the extracted OS partition in Ghost, not sure how that is going to go, but if not then will have to recreate in IIS 47 web sites. Data for the sites is fine, as that was on a pair of separate SCSI drives.

 

So much for getting caught up on other work.

Oh man...I feel your pain!  Happened to us mid-April.  Fortunately it was just after midnight on a Friday, so we had everything back up before morning and no one noticed the interruption in service.

 

Was it Windows mirroring or hardware level?

Off the topic, but it interrupted my work on my mail server.

 

Any one ever loose both mirrored OS drives at the same time?

 

FUN FUN FUN

 

NOT!

 

At least Ghost is able to read the master.
