The way I read it, you didn't destroy anything. You had a moment of panic, and could have created real problems.

Regardless, same lessons learned right? :) Whether the server is gone or not, it could have been, and the way we work changes drastically after a real world scare like this.

Did you ever tell the boss, or did you just let it ride? There's nothing like going to the boss in a cold sweat and the old "I f*ed up" look on your face.
