1889.0. "disaster and recovery" by UNIFIX::BERENS (Alan Berens) Mon Jul 06 1992 10:24
The SAILING notes conference was severely corrupted by a major disk
failure a few days ago (which is why the conference has been unavailable).
As a result of an unfortunate series of events, the most recent backup
copy is from mid-May. The backup copy, too, is slightly corrupted.
Initial repairs have been completed, and the conference is now more or
less as it was in mid-May. I was able to extract about 360 notes and
replies from the badly damaged file, but some notes and replies are
permanently lost (I have no idea how many). It will likely take me some
time to reenter the salvaged notes and replies. Doing this may require
moving some replies.
Finally, our system backup procedures have been revised, and regular
backups of the disk on which SAILING resides will now be done.
My apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

| Alan, THANK YOU for your never ending labor.
A forced withdrawl from SAILING just reminds some of us how much our
day to day sanity is improved by being to take short breaks and
'talk' / 'listen' to other sailors.
In honor of the tall ships, a resounding THREE CHEERS.
