old server crashed
Hello

We had an old system designed in fortran that ran on a IBM RS6000 AIX 3.2 system. The person who designed is long gone. It was replaced with a completely different (non unix) system 6 years ago. We still used it for historical lookups of older information. Well yesterday it died. The hard drive just sounds like its clicking and not spinning. We have some backup tapes of the system from a few years ago but I dont know if they will do me any good. Is there anyway I could recover any of this information? We dont have any of the aix installation disks, just the dead machine, and some backup tapes. Are we out of luck or is there hope?

Bill
