If you are on the Absolut Server :

Well, looks like the database hard drive that we JUST GOT died.
"I apologize, but due to the amount of errors coming from the disk, it is almost definitely impossible to recover data from this drive. Even if one could recover data from this drive, the failure messages above indicate that data retrieved may be corrupted. We would recommend that your best course of action would be to have the disk replaced and then restore from any backups that you have taken.

Problem after problem =\

We do have a backup of all the databases, I just need to figure out how we're going to fix this since they are mixed together with every other server.

Yes you probably do have to wait until Corey has sorted it all out.

It's just cool. I have a backup, and the question is, can I recorver to the mysql server or is it completely unnecessary because it will be lost too?

From what it sounded like in that topic you could restore the backup and because of how the script is restoring, it wouldn't over-write it if you already had one restored.


My recommendation however? Wait 2 hours, THEN recover with your backup. Corey estimated his script would be running for an hour, so wait 2 cause it never goes as fast as it should, then recover yours if the backup it has there is older than yours.

No sense chancing it by uploading yours to have it get overwritten, right?

If I create a database that's name is other than backup in the absolut archive it wouldn't be overwritten, I think.

That's how I read it too, but with any luck it should be done copying the mysql by now anyways, so go ahead
