Me: Not dead. Servers: Not right. I'm concerned. Currently: Trying to make a local backup, but my local backup SSD seems to be dead. 😖 Regrets: Checking the price of replacement drives. 😵‍💫

The database is fine, but I'm reluctant to say more until I have successfully made a full local backup. 🤞

You should check the smart data on those drives. I have two of them and they fail under 3TBW. One of them threw bad sectors at 2.6 TBW and the other is still saying it's OK at 2.5 TBW but is showing less than 35% "life" left.
