Forums >News and Announcements>RA Status: update 4
Hi all,
I will be heading over to the data center in a few minutes to survey and repair the damage. It means I will shut down the server to see if I can bring the disk arrays back online. You won't be able to access RA during this time.
I have no started restoring the data from the last several days yet. I wanted to make sure the restoration process does not result in further data loss. I don't know what can go wrong, but at this point, I'm in paranoia mode. I am making a copy of all the files onto a separate disk so that I would have something to fall back on should I screw up somehow. There are millions of files so the copy process takes a long time. It should not affect the site in anyway but thought I would keep you updated on the progress.

I'm in the process of restoring 7,679,839 records that somehow disappeared from a table in our database. *SIGH*
Aren't computers fun?
Good luck Eric!

No rush, Eric...don't put yourself out for our hobby site. Whenever it gets fixed is okeydokey. Hope the rest of your weekend is a bit more relaxing.

Eric is gonna need a new liver if he meets enough of us face to face. Nobody can drink that much free beer.
