They were copies of the original database files made probably when the CD upgrade/install was done. Not sure why the accounts db got "emptied" though.
Lucky you had them hey !

I'd check your backup method, and the best way to check it is to do a full restore (to a test server of course).

Yeah, we just bought ourselves an usb-disk.  What contrib would you advise to use it for backups? So that we can take it home everyday in case of fire in the building...

Thank you guys anyway for helping me this good!

The console (login as admin or run console at the root prompt) has a backup to USB option, or install dar from dmay contrib area which will also backup to USB & is configurable & adds a servermanager panel.

The USB does not work. It does not seem to recognize the drive, I cannot access it, can not mount it. It does not appear with fdisk -l.

Any idea? (Or should I open another topic?)

The USB does not work

If the USB option from the console does not work then please report to the bug tracker, remembering to give full server history and contribs installed. Thanks.

Firstly before doing anything else, make a backup of the data

Then using lazy admin tools, do a lat-dump -d, whcih will create restore files of users etc....

Then start to mess around

This is the best feature of SME-Server.

(I miss FreeBSD package manager...   )

Yum Yum Yum....

(I'm fixing this manually)

Thanks to God an the virgin... and mr Evil and Superman....

I Work with the RAID option.

It will be a nice afternoon for me....
 

I'm an asshole.... (the backup.... the backup....)
