Ok --- I backup and backup! So if you have a Terabyte drive out there - be careful. These drives are subject to catastrophic failure at the moment. There are some good ones out there. And bless the folks at $...@gate, they allowed me (with permission) to open and try to retrieve the data. The data is written in Linux No problem I thought but the folders are empty! Hack - perhaps but also drive failure and if you blog this it is a bit common. It seems they run a little hot. My replacement is going to go online at set hours and then be shut off during the rest of the day.
I was in the process of building a second server in office (Windows Server 2008 it is up now!) when this happened. I have most if not all the information. Also as a RWeb Server! Again but 2008! I will not bore anybody with the lost disk problem - hence 2008 verses 2003 ;( but I will also say I feel a lot better about our SAP then a do about MS policy. Want the nasty details just email. Sincerely, Paul My techs and I have check the failure reports. Back to 800's Raid and Mirror to Mirror Servers and in the very near future a VPN tunnel to a off site server. Not to mention the optical. And ......... In short watch your NAS's
