I have backuppc, AND several backups (MAN that program was worth the  
hassle to figure out!)

I ended up doing a bare-metal restore on a separate computer, with  
another raid controller (a bit nicer, with fancy lights on the front  
telling when the drives fail), AND I sacrificed some space for a hot  
spare. :)  Still doing RAID 5 because I couldn't afford that much  
drive space (literally, at $700 a drive!!!)

Still restoring as we speak...

Thanks for the kind thoughts. :)
