Hi Brendon,
Unidata provides a service for situations such as this.
A short term (3-7 days depending upon feed) archive of most of the LDM/IDD
data stream is held at:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu
This data is password protected, if you need to access the archive for
periods of time when your LDM is down, please contact us/me for a
password.
Cheers,
Jeff
