The company fried the disks for the previous backup server solution 
shortly after I left. I kept telling them that they should first fix up 
the new 'server room' before anything else for the office renovation. 
No, the boss would not listen. Under powering the disks (external disk 
cage connected via eSata) due to too many devices on the same power 
socket did the rest.


Good thing I left before that disaster.
