Crisis averted

Alright it was less terrible than I originally thought and it goes to show it's not what happens to you but how you react.  I didn't get much sleep last night so encountering a problem right away in the day I wasn't ready to deal with something that was broken.

Turns out the transaction logs on the SQL server had grown quite large and filled the volume.  Treesize and a few 20gigs deleted later, life is better and no one needs to know that the reboot wasn't exactly what fixed the server.  The server most definitely needed to be rebooted, I had a new version of anti-virus that was waiting to finish installing.

I'm just paranoid about this server it failed on me before, and I was stressed when I saw that the monthly full backup had failed to complete (the password reset from the co-worker leaving pissed off the backup service).  In the end it all worked out fine.  The monthly full this month is going to be a little spotty in terms of restoring, it is currently running and only about 20% after 5 hours.  1 terabyte of data to backup FTW?  We normally let it run from on Friday night and it goes all day Saturday.  The backup averages 22 hours and only a few things have been locked at the exact moment someone was trying to use them today so for the most part most people won't even notice.
