Root Access

Actually, now that I think of it I do have some data that is at risk of a drive failure, part of the data on my rental server is not secured by redundancy or backups

Bob

oh. if we're talking about servers... mine isn't backed up at all -_-

the ovh server is running raidz1 though

I have RAID-1 on only part of my rental server, and some very old (2-year+) backups of some of the VMs

My excuse is I don't control the hardware on that box.

I really should do that one first
