Server move (again)

#1 Post by Emufarmers »

So I upgraded the server to Ubuntu 9.10. Unfortunately, it seems the host's scripts didn't like that: the machine wouldn't boot back up. I contacted my host for help, and they reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04, erasing everything that was there.

Fortunately, I'd started making offsite backups a few weeks ago; I have a backup from two days ago, but it seems to be corrupt, so I've restored everything from a backup from a week and a half ago. We're now on a linode, by the way: the old host offered very generous resource allotments, but their service had some problems, especially when it came to reliability (duh). I apologize for not moving everything before this happened, and I'll do my best to ensure nothing like it happens again.

Anyway, questions, comments, and raging can be directed here or to me privately.
