Life

Bleh

Took Friday off sick.

Got a call on Saturday that one of the systems was down. Said I'd look at it on Monday.

Monday arrives, and I look at it. Seems that both sides of a mirror had spontaneously converted themselves to unrecognised volumes. The system had become somewhat disconcerted, and crashed.

Yes, I had a backup. A complete, up-to-date backup.

Because I'm paranoid.

Fortunately, very soon all of this will become Not My Problem.

1 Usually in this kind of situation the tape has bad blocks.

2 The system was playing up a bit last week, so I took the hint and made a second backup.

3 Actually ... in this kind of situation, usually the tape controller adapter has gone stupid.

Everything looks fine ... until you actually need to restore data ...

4 Which is why I made the second backup to another server, using rsync.
