Windows Server2000 - Major Problem!

[flav3rsav3r]

Our development team requested a reboot on a webserver that had been running for 6 months (roughly) (11/23) to be exact. The machine was rebooted and when the OS loaded, all data, event logs, sql databases, etc. all reverted to 11/23. There are no event logs, sys logs, anything since 11/23 to this morning...

Any ideas??????

Sounds like 1) you didnt back up ANYTHING 2) Sounds like the company couldnt get it to restart so they did it manually, losing all unsaved information...

For those interetested:

We did have a backup of everything, found out what the problem was too. The last reboot in November, the disk array went faulty and everything was being written to memory but not passed to disk. We exchanged the bad disk and everything looks good and is back to normal.

how do you miss that for 6 months? and no RAID array?
