Hm,
Technetium was passed down to me, and has a significant amount of logs, and
backups from DMSE's web server. I'll have to investigate how things are
configured, as well as back up some things before the system would be ready
to be brought down.
Thanks for your help, I'll contact hotline again, when I'm ready to have
the os reloaded.
