The hard drive on my webserver took a dive this afternoon, so I’m in the process of getting things moved around and back online.
To alleviate these sorts of problems in the future I have installed a new webserver in a virtual machine running on one of my windows servers - meaning it’s running on 2 year old hardware instead of 6 year old, decrepit hardware. And the virtual disk is sitting on a RAID array so it’ll be further insulated from hard drive failure.
This all started as I was going to upload David’s 4 Month photos, btw. So those are still en-route.
