Oh, this bodes well for meeting our end of month deadline
The ClearCase server machine is still dead. Evidently both hard drives went tits up yesterday, and nobody can bring it up. And I’ve got a bunch of files not checked in - from what I remember back when we had a ClearCase administrator, files that aren’t checked in aren’t backed up.
And just to make my day complete, I can’t log into Lotus Notes.
Good thing I’ve got some movies on my iPod.

“How about I set up SCCS for you?”
“SCCS? You gotta be joking!”
“It’s better than what we have now. Sorry, haven’t now.”

This is why I love snapshot views. I can keep working even when CC is down. And it makes builds a lot faster.

Can’t log into Lotus Notes? You say that like it was a BAD thing!

Not backing up views used to be “best practise” as endorsed by Rational back when I was a CC admin. Largely, I suspect, because views were usually spread all over the place, often on random desktops and workstations.
Nobody noticing when the disks fail (which is presumably what happened if *both* the mirrors failed!) is just plain crappy, Clearcase or not.
