WTH HAPPENED TO H-M?

A humble suggestion...

International Verify Your Backups Day - TidBITS

What better day than Friday the 13th to check that your backups are actually working by restoring some critical files?

we need monthly backups......

We HAD monthly backups and daily backups.
Neither one had the files in it, apparently.

Big round of applause for all the bosses, admins, and moderators who I’m sure sweated some pretty big bricks getting the board back and running. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

We have them. That is why we are getting photos restored as we speak (type). Sit tight everyone. Jake at Xenforo found the files and is currently repopulating the site. Keep your fingers crossed...

I got the following explanation from Jake @Xenforo:

"The internal_data directory in the backup is setup as a linked directory which is a little weird. But I can open it using my SFTP program."

I will follow up with him tomorrow and get an understanding of what we need to do differently to prevent this from happening again.

Look for an announcement tomorrow on next steps for members. Priority one will be determining where we are in time with the backup and restoring upgrades that were reverted prior to payment. Member upgrade priority will be the following:

Sponsors
Commercial
Diamond
Platinum
Gold
Silver
Registered

Thanks everybody for your extreme patience and understanding. Nelson, there is no need to fall on your sword here, let's regroup this week after you have had a couple of days to shake this off and then talk about next steps to fortify the system.

As are all of mine in my projects section! Just checked the photo gallery & some random old threads. Looking good so far!

Great news, thanks Bryan, Nelson, & everyone else who were involved at fixing the issue.

Nelson, you did your best with no malicious intentions, something went ooops, and it's coming back around. Don't get bent out of shape, it's good.
