Ok, Mail-Archive is now restored to as it was about 50 days ago, which was the last time a full backup was made.
My plan is the following: 1) sleep 2) carefully start processing mail again 3) sleep some more 4) start thinking about the last fifty days So sorry Rajiv and others affected, you will have to wait some more. Today's main excitement was breaking off some blades on one of the 2 brand new disk cooling fans. I decided to take it out, on the theory that vibrations from a wobbling fan would more than cancel out the benefits of a little extra cooling. -Jeff On Wed, 2003-06-04 at 20:12, Rajiv R wrote: > hi jeff, > > my group was getting succefully archived before the mail-archive server downtime. > Now I dont find my group.
