Putting this in Pub so all will be warned the TS will go down during the swapout. This morning we thought we lost files from a very important server but they still exist. I have authorized them to swap the servers

The original move appears to have failed because the copying of your server to Chicago appears to have failed. This is likely because that machine in Chicago does not have much available hard drive space, and you are using a large amount of space.

Further moves would not recover the disk in a situation like this, and in fact could cause it to become much worse, if the system were to move you back to your original machine. That's because it would delete the old image as part of the move, completely wiping any trace of what was there. Thankfully, that didn't happen today; when you moved the server back to NYC, it chose a different machine for you. This means that I do still have a copy of your server as it existed in NYC.

I'll start the move of that image copy to another server in Chicago with plenty of free space. When it's done, do you want me to shut down the current one and reactivate it immediately, or should we schedule this out?

The server should come back online soon.
 
Good grief....I have about 50 emails from this morning including this one from all the changes and updates lol
