    Sorry to hear that and not trolling here, but do you NOT have a backup
    plan?

    My provider gives me backup space and i use that and multiple redundant ways to backup. i have it all automated so i just have to check if it is still working once in a while. I took down almost all the services i was running for the bbs Community and i still do backups.

    One of the drives that failed was in the backup/archive server. It was
    ugly.
