Extended Delays

[ZERO]

My primary storage drive is corrupted and I am still running checkdisk to repair the file system. It might be a day or 2 before it can finish. All the work on the GG DM FFA server was saved on that array. In the event that it does come back I will be trying to order up 2 4tb drives to make hard backups to encase this occurs again. The underline issue is that backing up all the server data and doing all the game server work locally is very difficult for a ntsf volume. Unfortunately the only replacement filesystem is only available for windows server 8 which is bend over $$. I can barely afford even the 4tb drives to copy the data to...

If anyone has some extra $$ lying around it would help me get this shit fixed faster lol.

Anyways there will be extensive delays for days assuming I can recover the volume. If not expect delays lasting months to even a half a year. That volume stored all my work for the last 3 years. A separate backup computer would have protected me from this but I do not got 1500$ lying around to build a dedicated file server to backup my main system

So lets pray I can recover an hopefully just backup to some 4tb drives on esata or something till I can get money for a better solution. (as if I even got the money for 2 4tb drives )

could you possibly use a linux-based storage system instead?

ext4 is a bit easier to fuck with than ntfs, as far as i can tell.

Was it not raided to anything D:

The problem is the array is on my main windows system that I use for everytihing. That is what I meant by a secondary system to have a linux file system backup of the other file system. I have raid 6 but this is not a raid issue just an OS and file system problem.

So,... hopefully we can raise about 400 for base drives at minimum cost/performance. I'll kick in soon.
