My webserver didn't start out as a dedicated webserver. It started off as a bit pf a home server to which we can back some stuff up against. Silly me then went and added webserver capabilities to this. In retrospect that was a rather dumb idea... But you learn from your mistakes, and I certainly have with this.
But now that the hard drive has been pulled (and the server rebuilt), how do I get my data off? In a perfect world with unlimited resources, this is a non-issue. But what to do with only existing resources? A bootable Linux CD/DVD is the first thing to come to mind, but it wound up being less simple than I imagined...

So I have (had, now) a webserver hosting this site at home. Out of the blue, weird things started going on with my server, and I think it's been hijacked to serve another purpose. What purpose? I don't know. By whom? Still no idea. How? Even less of an idea. In the end, I wound up backing up my website (which was strangely left untouched), and rebuilt my server with a new OS and better security, and got my website up and running.
When I rebuilt the server, I used a new hard drive so that I could rebuild my server and get my website back up. The old hard drive is sitting on my desk, waiting to be plugged in for further analysis.
