    I wasn't trying to come down on them or anything. I hadn't thought that it might not have been a planned downing, but the title "Server Upgrade" tells me that it was planned (unless theres some sarcasm that was missed). I, too, am in IT, and I know that sometimes things go wrong. That's why before you do any kind of server upgrade, it's good to run the backup routines. No, we didn't lose anything critical, but some information has been lost and that's never fun.

    In short, it's no big deal..... I know a webmaster who accidentally deleted half of the user database while doing a forum upgrade. Everyone recovered eventually.....
    Ludicrous gibs!

    If that happened in my group I would not be the 1 losing a job.

    Backups are the key. Back-up your hard drive folks to CD. You'll be glad you did.

    When I bought my Hewlett Packard burner for my Gateway PC, it came with software by Veritas called "HP Record Now". I can burn MP3, files, and CD to CD copy. No problems here.

    Did you register the program?

    You may want to try another program if Roxio gives a fight for not forkin over the dough ;)

    I think that it would be funny as hell to see what the system would suggest for the crap that Ganzo types out........Probably some error message like "TYPE WITH TWO HANDS YOU PERVERT"

    Put yourself in his shoes. Now, how would you feel when reading a garbage post like that?

    Ganzo is very good natured about his typing/spelling, but come on now, you're just being mean.

    No, it's true man. Ganzo types like someone talking with a mouth full of biscuits and gravy. It's not his mental state though, you need to understand that. The guy is brilliant, he just has cloven hooves instead of hands.

    Don't worry guys, I'm working on the Ganzo Decoder Ring v2.0 RIGHT now, v1.0 sold out in record time, even with the inherit bugs.

    Cheers,

    Is that the $99 software program you were talking about?

    Where can I download that at?

    Thanks guys!

    Yes, not to go into too much boring detail, but I did back up everything before the scheduled work, and there was a problem with ghosting the drive during the hard drive transfer. To just GET IT UP (no laughter please) I made the decision to just restore the most recent tape backup of the server which is performed weekly. I thought I covered all my bases by making a ghosting of the current hard drive, but sometime unexpected hardware failures happen -- and piss me off :)
