Database rollback.

Postby BadBoy » Fri Jun 09, 2017 8:06 am

Due to our new server crashing today, the database became corrupt.

Normally I have daily backups running but due to software issues it hasn't been running since the migration to the new server took place.

As a result all newly created accounts, thread posts/topics and account stats have been roll-backed to 21/5/17. 20 days worth of data has been lost.

We will be taking measures to ensure this does not occur again.

My apologies,
BadBoy

Update on this;

Backup software is fixed and is now performing daily off-site/cloud backups. Issue was complex and required me having to use Process Monitor to debug which registry keys it was accessing. Surprised I managed to solve it tbh.

If this were to ever happen again the oldest backup will be 1 day.
