[auton-users] Auton System Status: "Backups are Down"

[Michael J. Baysek]

After the powerup on Saturday after the power loss, the
following services were not started:

Windows File Sharing to /auton space
Subversion

These services are now running.

However, one internal server did not come back up on Saturday.
That server was called LAIR and its job was to act as a backup
NIS, DNS and DHCP server, in addition to storing about 3 TB of
backups.  As a result of this server being down for the medium
term, the following backups are not happening that affect the
general Auton Lab user community:

1) Staff Linux desktop backups are not being synced to a server.
    They are being stored only on your local hard drive.
2) /auton/home/* are not being backed up.
3) /auton/archive/* are not being backed up.
4) Databases on LYRE are not being backed up.

The LAIR server is sitting on my desk, and will be repaired or
replaced as soon as is feasible when I return from vacation on
Aug 29.  Until then, please take your own precautions when using
the above mentioned directories and services, and know that there
are no active backups happening there for the time being.

I will work over the next days to get as many of these backups as
possible working again in a temporary fashion, and will keep you
posted as that work is completed.
