Problem Solved?

I think I might have solved the problem with my server. I was using tar to backup the site and the tarball had swollen to 6 gigabytes in size. Apparently tar can only support tarballs up to 4 gig so I think it was puking segmentation faults all over the place and brought both my original server and my backup server down.
I’ve restored the old server manually (opting out of using tar) and so far so good. I think I’ve restored just about everything but there might be a few things that behave abnormally. Considering the whole site was dead in the water and that I’ve restored it four times that’s not too big of a deal. I’ll deal with those problems as they come up.
Hopefully the site will remain up now without any issues. I’ve spent way more time than I have on this as it is.
