Subtitle: Really, I mean it, backup your stuff.

Having installed the new disk, my task this morning was to make recovery disks and image the main disc on the server. Sadly I was a day too late, as the other disc has failed. The one with the OS on it; my domain controller and mail server. Bugger.

Currently I'm rebuilding a spare with Exchange, just so I can get email going again. I've also just ordered a RAID controller and 4 discs, so when they arrive I'll install the OS onto a RAID 5 array (or possibly 0+1 - I haven't decided yet).

On the plus side, the .NET 2.0 framework has shipped, so I plan to upgrade the web server this weekend. That means the site for the Wrox Press Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 site will be publically available.

Ouchie.

Didn't I mention True Image last weekend? Live it. Love it. Images taken, while your machines run.

Imaging is good. I've got DriveImage on my laptop, but just hadn't got around to imaging the servers. I'll be buying additional licenses and doing the other machines this weekend.
