At the risk of bringing things back on-topic, about 10 years ago I once
spent an enjoyable morning running between two buildings with a box of
floppies, copying files from one Netware system that was working to another
that wouldn't boot. Apparently the broken one had run out of disk space so
the System Manager~h~h~h~h~h~h~h Janitor had deleted some old files that
didn't look as of they had been used for a long time. The problem is they
some were system driver files for the backup drive. When I finally got the
thing working and restored all the missing bits I found the tape they were
on was scheduled to be overwritten the coming weekend. Note this was again a
major company in the UK....
I checked today. Several of our Windows servers have not
had a re-boot for
more than 300 days, when we swapped the SAN
connections to
the new SAN.
However this does mean they havn't been
patched for 300
days so I guess I
have some overtime coming up. Please show me the
Microsoft
document which
recommends weely re-boots?
I drew the short straw where I used to work (as a Novel
administrator) ...
and I had to reboot the Novel server that had been up for 4 *years*.
