Crap. The AC died in the server room.

[mainegreen]

On a nice roasting hot day.
Full on panic mode here.

1. Oh boy. time to switch to the backup site.

you DO have a backup site, right?

[mainegreen]

6. Backup site?

:rofl:
I fucking wish. Maybe now offsite backup will be taken seriously.

[ThomCat]

2. There's good reason to panic.

I hope you people are running off of a back-up site right now. And I hope you're getting everything shut down at your site.

Good luck.

[Montauk6]

3. I hope you have a contract for 24/7 same-day AC repair!

[DS1]

4. Does everyone have a damn backup site?

Holy shit.

[mainegreen]

7. This is why I move my own project backups off site.

Everyone else? Who knows.
Still, *most* of the dev environments are down now.
Our server room is not the best server room.

Let me tell you about the blue tarp. It's for the leaky ceiling when it rains real hard!
Nothing like draping blue fucking tarp on the servers.

Did I mention I do not keep my database server in the server room? Well I don't and this crap is why.

8. co-location facility plus remote desktop and you're golden

ours is all but nuclear-proof, and there's so much vent/ac activity you start to want earplugs from being in there after 5 minutes

[mainegreen]

9. Your making me jealous.

Stop it.
:(

[DS1]

10. I wouldn't be

I'm not allowed to set up RAID. One drive goes and *poof*

[mainegreen]

11. No RAID?

Why on earth not?
I thought RAID was standard now!
It's saved my bacon many a time.
Still RAID vs Blue Tarp... tough choice.

[DS1]

12. Nope

CFO insists it's a scam

I'm looking for a new place to be the sys admin before the servers start failing.

[mainegreen]

13. The CFO gets to decide hardware specs?

Holy cow man, don't walk, RUN away!

[DS1]

14. if only it were that easy

You looked for IT jobs recently?

:tumbleweed:

[Yavin4]

15. Does Your CFO Think That Business Insurance Is A Scam As Well?

Or using condoms?

[DS1]

16. Nope

He's a Repub, and probably hates the fact that he loses half the storage space of two drives

[Yavin4]

18. What Kind of Business Is This? If You Lose Data, What Happens?

There are some businesses wherein if data is lost then it's not really a big deal.

[DS1]

19. oh, ya know

stuff people pay to upload and have us host

[Yavin4]

20. Well, Then, You May Have A Problem There

Good luck.

[DS1]

21. Yes, I'm fully aware of this

Thanks

[Yavin4]

5. Eh, Not Your Fault

Cheap bastids didn't want to pay for a backup. What can you do?

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Big time bummer
