No, not the monikers of Dade and Kate from the film 'Hackers' but rather my freaking hard drive crashed and then when I ran over to the NAS 440 to obtain a backup saw that it had experienced a system board failure after a hard drive failure in which a second hard drive in the raid array also had its data scrambled leaving it an usable paper weight.
Crash and burn.
So, I pulled a workstation image from an offline source that was 60 days old and my latest offline backup which was only a week old and rebuilt everything from scratch. I'm back in business with respect to the workstation.
However, the NAS is fried. So I took a second workstation and am putting SME server on it and will simply create a server to use as a backup server to replace the NAS. I lost all the data on the Raid 5 NAS server; however, fortunately I had a fairly recent backup of it.
The lesson is never trust anything or anyone outside of the Lord your God... lolol. Always have a backup.
I don't care if you're using an $1,100.00 BlackArmor NAS with Raid 5. It failed me and is now nothing but something I plan on using for target practice at the shooting range. Always have a backup. Always have a backup. ALWAYS have a backup.
