It has been a nightmare, since you mention it I will tell you the full
story.
For a year and a half I was telling my managers that it is not a good
idea to have an AC unit on top of the main racks, for a year and a half
I only got "no" to install a new AC, for the last 5 weekends I have been
working in the server because the AC kept breaking.
At some point the AC people replace the pump in the AC, they did not do
it right what caused the AC to put lot of water onto the whole rack,
this happened on a weekend, all the servers, SAN backups and Tape device
went dead leaving me with just one tape.
I was working from Sunday 6 am (when I detected the problem) to Monday
4pm, on Monday 8 pm my wife goes into labor...anyway, it only get worst
from there...
I do have backups, I don't have the skill, I do have a really cheap and
sucky management.

Do plan for a better backup for next time.
It doesn't sound like you had one?
