Well it was a Murphy's Dog Day Afternoon this Friday.
The server was taken down for what should have been 5 minutes to install more memory to help performance.
But, when brought back online it quickly died during reboot.
A drive went bad, data became corrupted and the mirrored drives destroyed the data on each other.
The database server was restored from a backup that was done at about 7:30pm est last night.
Very VERY, fortunantly, a forum backup was done this morning.
So we had something more recent than the tape backup from last night.
So after the server was back up at 5pm today it took some time to restore all the data from this morning's backup.
So any Posts or PMs from after 9:06am EST this morning are lost, sorry.
Sorry for the delay..
Admin.
