Oh the joys of virtual servers!
Backup you say? restore you say? CORRUPT I say!

Gotta get these two servers back up and running by tommorow morning, else people will be less than pleased!

Anyone else stuck at work at this ungodly hour?
 
Meh, I was still working at 2am last night and had been since 8am the previous morning. Lightweight :p.
 
aww crap, now I've got a black screen of death trying to boot from cd to reinstall in the repaired VMDK file..
Looks like I'll be installing the server from scratch!..
Fun...

Make sure you mention in the interview how much bloody effort you're putting in for your current employers. Trust me, any employer would give their right arm for an employee who really goes the extra mile.

(Unless you're stuck there fixing your own ****-up :p)
 
Got my fingers crossed for ya as well mate. im just up chilling atm listening to the ambient psy chillout channel on shoutcast. awsome tunes pumping on here. I shiver at the thought of me bothering to reinstall my pc, let alone a server so you have my sympathy :)
 
It's like that in IT though. Last night I had to restart 300 servers in 4 countries, install an application to 4 data centres, run backups and fail over a Cluster. I was flat out from 9pm til 6am.

Tonight, I cleared a printer queue so far.

Well it occured as a result of me moving data off a RAID array to rebuild it and copying it back. But as far as I could see the files I backed up were identical to the originals, so, depends how you look at it really :p

You got your servers, just think of the job satisfaction when you fix them (or sleep you'll get when you fix them, whatever works for you).
