yesterday our linux OS on the server unexpectedly crashed without any reasons
I attempted to reboot it but it couldn’t
I ran the fsck command to make file systems check but it did somthing but finally failed
I tried too reboot again and it could finaly go down but It couldn’t get back online again:(
I asked the datacenter to check it, but unfortunatly he told me the kernel has been crashed and he did what he could but couldn’t makeit, so he offered me to relaod the os
I aksed him to reinstalled the os on a new hard drive
after everything finieshed and the server were ready all I could do was relying on the backups
we usualy create backups monthly but fortunately I manually created the backup of 95% of the hosting accounts
I created a restore.sh to restore the all existing backups after moving them to home directory
all the accounts restored to 7 days ago, yes it seems auful to loose of the data of the days between these 7days but what if we didn’t heave wven this
after those hosting accounts were restored I went to do the restore the 5% of remaining accounts
every site took me about 4to 5 hours to be completed…..:((

so my advice to you,even if you do not have a larg bussiness
have backup of all of your data in an external hard or in dvd atleast in every month

keep in mind that the accidents will always happen
