Frank,

Here's the promised film. A real horror story. I'll refrain from any editorial comments, but if I were in a position to weild a lead pipe .....

CAUTION! The following story contains descriptions of extreme system violence. Parental guidence is recommended.

The server and it's backup are both toast. SERVER AND STORAGE ADMIN WERE NOT MAKING SYSTEM BACKUPS! A backup server with the app and database already installed (simply requiring the app be fired up - it would request a data refresh from the mainframe) was also wiped clean when the SA started monkeying with the SAN. The primary server is still reporting disk problems in the Windows event log. A complete reinstallation will be required if and when we get a stable server.
