Even though it's Friday the 13th, we received good news today. The search records portion of the website seems to be functioning very well with search results and document images popping up quickly. We still don't know exactly what happened. There's supposed to be a formal debriefing on Wednesday, so the blog entry for that day will certainly provide whatever info we have at that time. At the registry, we've already started a comprehensive review of our own disaster recovery plan and computer backup procedures. When the system sails along month after month and year after year without serious difficulty, it's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. The problem with the Internet over the past two weeks was all the reminder we needed to get more serious about this stuff.
