 Hey, that's Lynn!

 @scottalanmiller I replied before I saw a link to view the second image.

- 
 That doesn't look healthy. 
- 
 I'm trying to raise her on Facebook to help out. But she's not online right now. 
- 
 Oh man, three dead drives on a RAID 5.  
- 
 She loses

 Lots of randomly mixed up drives there, too. 
- 
 Ouch, it burns! 
- 
 How do you even lose three drives in a RAID 5? Did they drop the servers? Has it been offline for years? 
- 
 Hopefully she has good backups

Mixed drives, ancient RAID 5, multiple arrays of matching drives (no OBR), Windows physical server no virtualization - I'd put the chances of backups around 10%.

Mixed drives, ancient RAID 5, multiple arrays of matching drives (no OBR), Windows physical server no virtualization - I'd put the chances of backups around 10%. I'd say a 30% chance of your 10% that the backups are too old to use.

I'd say a 30% chance of your 10% that the backups are too old to use. Right, I'm only wagering 10% that there is an attempted backup. We'd have to take a completely different guess as to if it is tested (.1%), complete (40%), or working at all (15%.)

 External lights match the screen... five green, three orange. That array is toast.
