To clear up things:
Jurrie got much of the documentation when he bought whole drawers with spare parts and docs from Nady [wireless]. Thing is that Tarnowsky had rented some warehouse space from John Nady, but once he'd relocated the ADA stuff there, Nady prevented him from accessing the facilities.
Now, let's refrain from deeper discussion about this.
WRT to original ADA Depot, Jurrie left the site to me, but due to his fast deteriorating condition, didn't manage to hand over access to the whole setup; I only had web access.
Thus, I couldn't perform a full backup of the whole setup.
After his death, the physical server was relocated to SAN's house, where we worked together on getting it running again.
However, the server had never been installed correctly - Jurrie weren't a systems engineer.
This caused numerous problems with remote admin for me in Cph to the server in Holland, and especially for performing full backups of several GB of setup and data.
At some point, the server started to lock up time and again. And worse, SAN moved 200 Km to an apartment, having to leave the server unattended in his house on sale.
At the same time, I snapped from job-related stress, and whaddayaknow.. the server decided to support me and went fully down just the same. Nice having supporting friends, but..
SAN and I decided to dismantle the server, and he sent the server drive to me. I still have it, but my setup in life got completely destroyed, so I never were able to dig the data off the server drive.
Digging the data out isn't a simple thing. I can do it, but given my conditions it'll have to wait a bit more.
Here's the complex digging-out procedure:
It's a Windows server disk with physical defects. Onto the windows installation is installed an old, since years unsupported, VMware Server (their first virtualisation product).
Onto this is installed a Linux server, which hosts the ADA Depot.
But but but, the VMware Server had been installed without drivers, which was quite problematic on Debian Linux back then, when Jurrie did the setup.
With out proper drivers, working manually on the setup is nearly impossible. Just getting basic networking working in the Linux, so I can use things like SSH to-fro the box takes hours of editing on a jumping cursor.
Now, I can set-up the server drive on a labtop via an external adapter, and I will do that at some point.
But, even once I've re-located which of several VMware files is the right one, and made access via networking work, I still have to fight doing the backup smaller in chunks - because of the physical defects on the drive.
I'll get to it, hopefully this autumn, once the old lady on drugs and alcohol who rents the summerhouse to me for winter, moves back to her apartment. Mind ya, I still sleep in a sleeping back on an inflatable..
Life is a bitch, and then we fu**ing die. Meanwhile, what an array of experiences I get..
