Just about had a heart attack 30 minutes ago fellas. Someone in IT came up and said, "How important were all those files you had on the web server?"
Me: "You said 'were.' Um, really important, that's all the working files for our external site and EVERYTHING I've been working on for the new site, CSS pages I've been working on for three months.
Everything is there, working files, local test files."IT: "I think it's lost for good, I can't get the server back up."
Me: "Holy shit, that's a big problem..."
--In the end it rebooted after 6 attempts and we made a backup pronto. It's an older server they gave me space on once I started doing our web work. I would have been in huge huge huge mad rage if I lost that work.
I don't make backups, and they do backups of our entire systems every night...but not the test server I use...
