UConn has no backup under the understanding that you were backing\ up.
This is extremely bad news. Because of the problems that I had with fafner and raneb, and in the aftermath of that backup has been shaky. I have no backup of /home/aras. This is putting us into an extremly difficult situation. We need to stop the machine asap, run a disk check, and recover whatever we can on another machine, from /home/aras. Let me know if there is anything I could do to help. I have beenn running an rsync backup as soon as the machine was back up, checking my local records. But it did not get to /home/aras until the machine crashed. This disk is toast. We need more help with backup and system administration.
