      Hopefully she has good backups

      With a mixed bag of drives like that in a RAID5, it's unlikely backups exist... if any, I doubt it's a working backup.

      Mixed drives, ancient RAID 5, multiple arrays of matching drives (no OBR), Windows physical server no virtualization - I'd put the chances of backups around 10%.

      I'd say a 30% chance of your 10% that the backups are too old to use.

        Right, I'm only wagering 10% that there is an attempted backup. We'd have to take a completely different guess as to if it is tested (.1%), complete (40%), or working at all (15%.)

          External lights match the screen... five green, three orange. That array is toast.

            Nine years on old SAS drives. Not amazing, but not bad. More than half of them are still spinning.

              Hopefully they learn from this. That's their only server?

                  Just confirmed that she has backups. Sadly, they are Backup Exec.

                    Great at taking backups.... restoring... well, it's not in the name.

                      She needs a whole new server before even thinking about that.

                          Tested? Working? Complete?

                            She has to buy another server and get BE installed and working from there before we can start asking or answering those questions.

                                          She even says in the post - "I have no idea what I'm doing". Not something to post publicly if you claim to have 17 years in IT.

                                            This goes to another recent thread about the home lab vs 'work experience' just because you "worked" in IT for 17 years doesn't mean you know shit about it.
