in thread Servers with an uptime of more than a day are

Thats almost as good as my poor CS prof in college. He spent almost 2 months testing his back-up and recovery strategies for our brand new SPARC. Then he put it in the main CS lab and setup all the user accounts. It had been running less then a week when the janitor unplugged it to mop the floor. (Despite the huge sign on the plug saying, "Don't touch!")

The poor Prof, his plans all assumed he could turn the machine back on, which he couldn't. It took over a month to get that machine back up and running. (Sun systems do not like sudden power loss.)

    Yikes! We had to move some of our servers to a remote location during the WTO riots (fearing terrorist attack) :) We couldn't spare anyone to stay with the servers...and at some point we couldn't communicate with them at all, so we went down to where they are and someone had pulled all the cords out of the wall...they left a note complaining that it was too hot, so they wanted all the machines off. Note was unsigned, luckily. Hmmmmm.
