amigaworld.net down, HD Failure.

[SilvrDrgn]

The OS has been booted up in Recovery mode and we are currently tar'ing hda3 (18GB) to a remote location using an ssh tunnel (thanks Sibbi). This will take serveral hours.

You running that site on one hard drive?!?!?  :-)  Heh, just kiddin' with ya.  Good luck, I hope everything goes according to plan for getting it back online!

The DB is backed up everynight to a remote location, and 4 are stored in rotation. A backup of the site files are store on my PC, not much of the site files really change, apart from user avatars.

Lots of stuff that isnt backup, like system configuration files, cron scipts and so on. So it was easier to just copy the whole hda3 partition to an other server via an ssh tunnel.

Disclaimer ? What disclaimer ? ;-)

As if anybody ever reads manuals, EULA's and disclaimers..

@Karlos:

BTW, I've been meaning to try it out and send in the results, however the duties at home have been preventing me from my Amiga time during the last few weeks. :-(

@All

We've successfully backed up the hda3 files to a remote location and are now awaiting for support to replace the harddrive. Site should be online sometime tomorrow afternoon (UK time).

Apologies for the inconvenience!

And thanks Wayne Hunt and Amiga.org for letting our members use your forums during this difficult period.

Well, we did tell you not to try those 'drive music' programs out on your server :-)
