I was rdp'd into an SQL Server today and did a backup before making some changes; so I needed to restore the backup, when suddenly the rdp session disconnected and I thought I saw the purple "restarting" screen just before it did!

My localhost system was also out of memory as I was notified of as I pulled up a powersshell prompt to try to connect to it with winrm, so I closed out firefox and then was able to rdp to it again;
But when I went in to look for my backup on the same drive where I saved it; it wasn't there!!!
