Alt tabbed once too many times, clicked drop database, clicked yes. Realized what I'd done and panicked.
Deleted the user db for the east coast auth server for the game America's Army: Operations. Thankfully it was the secondary so we just redid replication.
That was a nice game. It still has a small community but I wish they had open sourced it. Probably not possible because of licenses...
Man I did that once as a kid before i knew how to back stuff up properly. Months of work just gone. Now im hyperparanoid about backups and restoration procedures for everything.
If you think you fucked up, remember that EVE Online once failed to remove $instdir\boot.ini (the nice-to-have gamefile) and instead deleted c:\boot.ini (the very critical Windows file).
