Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.
