Earlier today, the unimaginable happened!

My developement SERVER CRASHED!!! and it crashed HARD!!!

This server only hosts the TWD website, some personal sites of mine, but never any client sites. The main reason it hosted the TWD website is for it's ability to connect to my Access MDB file to pull client data from (mainly the client area of the site.)

As of now, here is where things sit.
1. Client sites are not affected, as they are not hosted on my dev server.
2. I still have not found out why the dev server crashed.
3. I have been able to restore the important stuff (via Mozy Client, OMG thank goodness I had this installed on my dev server. I can't stress enough the importance of having some sort of backup of your important files. Had there been no backup, I would have lost probably 2 years worth of work.)
4. For now, a limited functionality verson of the TWD website is up and running on my live server, which is fully managed by someone who isn't me.

I have not yet decided to start over with my current server or simply build a new one. Or perhaps I may simply move all my client data to the live server. Once I know more, I'll post it here.
