Instant dismissal in our place, providing that hinderance of the data was the result of significant financial loss.
Yeah that's just plain negligence. Kick him two times. Once in each nad.
Shit, looks like I need to update my signature to include ears as well!
I think I'll show him this. I don't think he quite realises what all the fuss is about since he doesn't use the system day in day out like nearly everyone else.
I think he will when the board haul him in for a kicking in the next few days.
Data came back this morning and I'm currently running a bunch of tools (repair, re-index, compact and all the usual stuff) but it all looks good so far.
Thank fuck.
If we were running Windows 8 we'd no doubt be screwed in the panties and the ear.
I'm sure you have your reasons (old server being one) but RAID5 is generally considered bad practice now.
My SQL & Exchange servers are the two that I make absolutely sure are being backed up without issue. Our SQL server has every bit of inventory and financials on it, we'd be straight up fucked if it died, and I'd imagine most other companies are that way.
Really? Wonder if my IT guy knows that. He may but probably doesn't give a shit given he ignored a dead drive in the array.
Why is it bad practice and what's replaced it as good practice?
Financials are elsewhere, but he probably doesn't back that up either.
