Well, it was worth a shot. But unfortunately, Brad was unable to bring Ed McMahon back to life.

Corrupt too. This backup was squirreled away on a different system that's not normally on the grid. Let's just say our work just got a little more involved because along with backing up the system, we're going to have to periodically restore backups to a cold spare and test them. Not something that's part of your normal backup strategy when you're talking about volunteers.

I'm always nervous my backup has a bug. I scan the heck out of the system before I back up but I'm always wondering if my backup is squeaky clean or that dang April Fools virus is just waiting...
(in fact I usually change the date to April 2 just before midnight March 31st even though that crash happened like 10 yrs ago... LOL)
