Arts & IT Section Bathurst Web Server

Our web server had a catastrophic failure over the September/October School Holidays. Unfortunately, we also found that our usually reliable restore process, Mondo Rescue, had failed as well. The application was looking for a "config" file on the tapes but couldn't find the file. Even trying to access the tapes manually failed due to "previous errors". This has meant a complete installation of the server from scratch, including setting up all the users again.
