What I Learned Today - Data loss sucks.

Viviotech , What I Learned Today Add comments

Over the long weekend, Viviotech had a major outage due to a failed upgrade. I am one of the servers that had failures on the Viviotech backup process as well, which means my most recent server backup was mid-June. Not a very good weekend for me (but better than the one the Viviotech guys had to endure).

I do weekly backups every Monday of my databases, and all my web files are saved in a local CVS repository that I have backed up on my own. Unfortunately, the outage happened before I could do my latest rounds of backup, so my database backups are more than one week old. 

I've lost two blog posts that were done last week, and I know of at least two comments that got lost as well. My apologies to those people.
