This morning we experienced a hardware failure on the server. This resulted in the server shutting down ungracefully, thus corrupting the databases. The hardware was fixed within 30 min, however the databases remained corrupted. The first attempt was to restore to this mornings backup, however that too was corrupt (it was too close to the point at which the server began failing).
We have restored to our Jan 20 backup, and all seems well. I never like to lose data, however when trying to preserve 14 years worth of memories, 2 days is a small price to pay.
So far it seems everything is now stable. Please let me know if anything odd occurs.
Thank you, and I apologize for the downtime and lost data.
Best,
Rod
