Disaster Recovery?

M. Grochmal asks: "A three-alarm fire at Southern Maine Technical College burned through the Computer Technology and Technical Graphics departments. We have salvaged most of what we can, but cannot return into the building until the asbestos risk decreases. The hard part now is rebuilding the networks in another building. The schedules have been rearranged, many of the department students and faculty are volunteering to relocate salvageable computers, as well as install/configure the new computers that will be arriving in the next day or so. On top of that, we have to rebuild the Netware servers, restore from backups, and get them networked again. I was wondering how other Slashdot readers were able to recuperate from unforeseen damage to their work (and learning) environments. You can read about the fire here and see what the schedule is. Wish us luck."
