Had a server that's being replaced loose 3 of the 4 drives in its array last night. Happy Friday to me, not that it's ever a good day for that to happen! Not a surprise since it's a 7 year old server, and the 3 drives that failed are all original.
This just gets better and better. Former employee recorded the wrong encryption key. So now we're restoring a backup from March so we can pull the key and restore to current.

Wiping out a profile because of an update bug which forces all jpg's to be downloaded as jfif files.

Did I mention that it's a 1.2TB image being restored over a 1gb network link? Yeah.... not so fun times.

Yesterday my a/c unit decided to change to European degrees. I guess I'll finally get a handle on centigrade.

The client has dragged their feet for 2+ years that my boss has been telling them this could happen at any time. Even had it in their budget, just kept pushing it back.
At least we were able to get everything recovered over the weekend, no yelling and nashing of teeth this morning.

Personally, I don't think that is possible.

Exactly, I mean what I've written is 2 lines, including an import-module function and the operation. This portion has been scheduled.
I wrote two additional scripts to make sure the human still doesn't screw it up, one to check on the above status, and the other to undo the above status.
All in maybe 3 hours, mostly for discovery.
