Post by hefalump »

What happened to the posts from the last 3 days? Posts from Feb 12 to present are missing.

Yes, this is because of a server crash at our web provider. They had to move us
to new hardware, using a backup snapshot that was a couple of days old.

I *do* have my own backup, current as of early this AM. But the thought of wiping
and restoring the forum DB to recover three days of (very limited) posts isn't the
most appealing, I have to say. So unless there's a great outcry, I'd like to just let
this one ride... How do people feel about that?

On the plus side, the experience this time is worlds away from the last
crash that happened, with our previous provider. At least AxisHost actually
*does* have their own backups, and they *are* utilized to recover a customer's
site upon an unplanned move to a new server box.
