Uh-oh...What happened?

Hi folks,

About once per month - I do a site-wide backup. It sounds easy - right? Well - the "site" includes over 14 servers, 600+ "websites" (Rennlist members, Rennlist, GAF, P.38, TracQuest, GT-Forum, blah, blah...) - so it takes a while. When I do that - I point everything to a backup server. What you hit was my "back-up" server.

I'll let my "TECH" staff know not to do that again - and seeing as there are "2" of us in my entire "Technical Support" staff (well, when I look in the mirror there are "two" of me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ), it shouldn't be too difficult.. Heh!!

You only need to worry if the site(s) don't come back on-line, in which case, I probably died part way through the back-ups... In that case - send flowers.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
