Yesterday we started having problems with our VPS. It started out simply enough, it just looked as if the MySQL server process had failed. But by early this morning our VPS provider was saying the hard disk had failed and they were moving us to a new server.

But the real problem started when they said our VPS backups were also corrupt.

Now that the new VPS has stabilized I wanted to see what my network and CPU stats are like. I lost my old scripts when the old hard disk failed. I'll post something about my new and improved backup process soon. However, because I blogged about them, and I was backing up my Movable Type database, so I had copies of my Perl scripts.
