I can't get on the backup board!! I found this- No board until late tonight? Only backup files up until 2 days ago? So anything posted yesterday won't be there.
We regret to inform the users of boards on Server 6 that the Datacenter that was performing the hardware replacement on Server 6 used the wrong hardware which led to the hard drives on the server being erased. We are still evaluating whether the drives were completely erased. Regardless, we will be restoring board data from backups stored offsite. Our initial estimate is that we will be able to completely restore InvisionFree boards to a state about two days ago. All board data will be recovered up to that point, including file uploads and post attachments. The recovery of ZetaBoards boards will not be as recent. We will definitely be able to at least restore those boards to the point at which they converted to ZetaBoards.
While we are still waiting on the Datacenter to provide us with a replacement machine, I would like to give a preliminary timeline of what to expect...
- We should have the server software rebuilt and configured by this evening at the latest.
- InvisionFree boards should be recovered approximately 6 hours after the server is fully rebuilt.
- ZetaBoards boards will go through their conversion process from InvisionFree again.
For those of you with boards converting to ZetaBoards on other servers we will continue with those conversions, but will pause them as necessary and reasonable if it is needed to help with the setup and restore of Server 6.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we will do our best to get everything up and running as soon as possible. Please bear with us while we work to resolve this unfortunate event.
