dotTech is back, bad hard drive caused the downtime

Ashraf December 22, 2012 8

Hey dotTechies,

Some of you probably noticed dotTech was down all day. The downtime was caused by a bad hard drive and it took my web host the better part of the day to run diagnosis, backup data, replace the drive, and restore data. Now, however, we are back and everything should be fine!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

-Mr. Boss

Glad to have you back online… and I’m glad it was a hardware failure and not some kiddy hacker messing up your site.

The mayan’s had predicted it… =)

Go figure it would be a end of a hard drive and not the world xD

If this happens to the “big boys”, what chance do we wee folks have?
