rbryant products Webserver disk failure

[rbryant]

All,

My website recently reverted back about 2 years automatically the other day.

Apparently they had a catastrophic dual disk failure in their RAID setup and it will take some time to get the data.

They probably should have had a MUCH better backup system in place so I may lose some data and may also need to change servers...

If anyone needs something that was on the site that isn't currently let me know via PM or email.

I will try to get it back to where it was shortly.

cache:http://rbryant.freeshell.org/
in a google search box if it doesn't work.

Sorry to hear. RAID shouldn't be used as a backup source, the company should know better, always backup your file!!

True but it is cheaper iirc. Not saying it is right, just cheaper.

I was also on vacation at my Dad's farm so I was a little out of reach.

Yea it is just a cheap service I had to get a unix shell account years ago and I started using it as a simple webserver. I never really looked into how they backed things up. I would have thought that they would have atleast a weekly backup on top of the RAID aswell.

Thanks man that really helps!

It doesn't have the images but I have those in various places...
I had checked the "webarchive" but it was VERY out of date. I should have realized that google would also have one.
