Shit definitely happens... it's been a crazy day and my server is still not ready for me to even get started. I had a new server setup and was able to move my mainstream clients over so that was pretty quick and painless.
They tried cloning the old drive but it didn't work. They installed a new drive and it failed during the installation of DirectAdmin. So they upgraded the drive and are in the process of re-installing the operating system and DirectAdmin. My old drive is mounted via USB cable so I am hoping I will be able to save some of the data on the old one. For instance my forum has been up and running for over a year and all the information has not been backed up in ages.
My poor pantyhose blog... Up a couple of years and when I tried importing my most recent backup (a week and a bit ago) earlier today it was chock full of errors and absolutely useless.
I will be the star of an infomercial on the importance of backups very soon
