<p>[QUOTE="Peter T Davis, post: 380938, member: 1"]Many of you will recall that on Friday we had quite a bit of downtime, and that the company that manages Coin Talk's server told me that it was a cable connecting the hard drive that failed. Well, yesterday we had even more of downtime, and this time around they're saying that it was actually the hard drive itself that failed. </p><p><br /></p><p>What a lot of you probably don't know is that I put extra money into Coin Talk's server so we had an extra hard drive in there onto which a copy of the database is made every day. So, instead of a catastrophic loss, we're missing about a day's worth of posts. </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, even losing a day's worth of posts sucks, and I've kicked a couple of holes in the wall here because of it. Well, not really, but I wanted to! Anyway, we're back live, with a new hard drive (and yes, still with the backup drive. It's really a cheap insurance plan, and a lesson for everyone, backup your data regularly![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
