In reply to the discussion: IMPORTANT: Today's update failed and we have had to restore a backup, but we did not lose data [View all]OldSWODog
(71 posts)46. such is the natural cussedness of things
EG, thanks much for your efforts...of the many things I learned in the navy, this one stands out: "there is nothing so easy or simple it can't be made hard"...I'm not a digital snipe (steam and diesel were my bags) but can well imagine what you and others are up against...no worries, I look forward to the new install when it's ready...remember to breathe; we're here now and we will be here when you light off the update...btw, it's a maxim of navy damage control to "hold what you've got" (in other words, good planning to run a backup before shifting)...now I'll read the responses to date...cheers, OSD
