You all are so awesome! I am so appreciative of your help and pushing me foward.
I am sorry that I wasn't able to respond yesterday. We had to run a laptop off my phone yesterday because we couldn't get the computers that are hardwired figured out. We discovered our "main computer" does still have internet late yesterday afternoon. We still can't get our medisoft to work on just a regular computer because it is still looking for a server path and we can't convice it not to look for a server. Anyway, we got takeout on the way home and went to bed about 7:30.
We trying to decide what to do about our network. Maybe insurance would help set it up again before we jump into another server. We think our server only has 4 gigf RAM. The person on the phone at Dell said that we need to start with 2 gig of ram and add min of 1 per user. We have 8 users at 15 stations.
Oh do I have a lot to learn from your posts:
1. What is a complete bare metal backup?
2. What is AVR/UPS on your main computer
3. What are dual PSUs?
4. Does enc.backup stand for encrypted backup?
5. What is PCIx?
6. What does 5 is with the Premium. 4 with Standard mean?
7. what is an inverter and a fast switching circuit like a UPS
Right now our server is still at Big Box, but I can look on the REV backup for enc.backup.
We tried running it from the SB2003 disks before we took it to Big Box.
We have been running sbs 2003 on a 32 bit server
The Rev drive is a tape drive that was on a scheduled backup every night.
Our AC backup hasn't worked on a consistent basis.
There were three total drives in our server. Unfortunately, they were not RAIDed and all the data was on the same drive as the OS.
The Guardian Angels helped us get AC up on one of our laptops for now. It is painfully slow, but it looks like we may have all our data except one because one of the REV tapes were bad.
Thanks again so much. Will be checking in between patients
