The server has been down. I couldn't get in any more, so I couldn't do anything. I mailed the people at the data center and they were able to restart it after 20 scary minutes
I'm very lucky that the hard disk didn't crash, my last backup was from three weeks ago!!!
I've now asked them to install a second harddisk in the server so I can make daily backups on the second drive. So the server will be down again for a couple of minutes somewhere today when they install the new drive. Still it's better to be safe than sorry, and it will hopefully save me from having a heart attack

OK the server has a backup drive now. There has been 20 minutes of downtime last night when they installed the new drive, but hopefully nobody noticed
From now on the site is backed up entirely every day, so in case of a problem we would never lose more than 1 day of data!
