The hard drive and motherboard have failed.

Hard drive
The hard drive has reached critical with a rating of 0% fitness.
Hard drive report:
http://www.hddstatus.com/hdrepshowrepor ... n=840F3AF5

If you read the report it has over 37552 offline uncorrectable sectors, which is pretty bad. The motherboard refuses to load any operating system at all. All is not lost however, I managed to backup everything of importance such as server files and databases and I will be replacing the hard drive tomorrow. It will be a bigger, better, faster hard drive.

Feel free to reply to this thread with discussion.

Have all the maps been lost? I realize you said Databases have been backed-up, but they don't necessarilly contain the maps. Is there a possibility that maps we may have requested in the past could have been lost, or can we only find that out once everything is back online?

The only downsides to losing the maps would be a few days of having to call in the maps, and not being able to play them, and a lot of footwork for alex. There is a bright side, though. There will be next to no broken maps, and the ones that arent played, along with the old versions of maps, will be removed, making searches smoother. You also wont host some game and discover it is the wrong version or just a bad game.

I do feel bad for you, alex, cause that has got to be a hassle. The shiny new hard drive is a plus, atleast (or thats how is sounds, hopefully there arent any stings attached XD).

Well, I maintain a 1:1 ratio copy of the maps on my own computer, so that would not have been lost.
