Status: 120 miles of back and forth driving from home yesterday and restoring a backup so a company in Louisiana could operate off my server.
Theirs developed a bad sector smack in the middle of their database. They were RAID mirrored but one of the drives went bad so they yanked it and never got around to replacing it….alrighty then.
Transferred data today from my server to a new one their tech built. Tech and manager are no-where to be found so I am on the phone with their managers and employees talking them through getting up and running. No, it isn't my job but most of the things I get saddled with aren't.
All the while, I'm diagnosing a database issue via text messages with a company in Indiana.
I need a drink.
