Wow, these guys obviously had no disaster recovery plan.



What sort or organisation keeps there backup server (or tapes etc) in
not only the same building, but the same room!!!

"These shared servers suffered a total loss, including the backup
server
the backups were located on. A few hours ago, we contracted a third
party data restoration service (at a great expense) to attempt to
recover the data off the backup drives. At this point, we are waiting to
hear back from them to determine chances of full, partial, or no backup
scenario. As soon as we get the official word, we will update this
status post. The situation with this server is dire, but we are
exhausting every avenue possible to retrieve as much data as we possibly
can.

* UPDATE * The data recovery team is working on our backup drives - We
won't know the result until tomorrow morning (2/25), expect an update
then."

I forsee much work ahead...
