I must have done something wrong because for the past week or so, almost none of my questions have been answered here. I'm pretty much in trouble now because I have -no- backups, as I cannot get my backup server running, as I've put all my eggs in the btrfs basket. Am I asking things wrong, or am I supposed to be asking somewhere else?
