"Fire is over. Firefighters continue to cool the buildings with the water." "We don’t have the access to the site. That is why SBG1, SBG3, SBG4 won’t be restarted today," said Klaba.

Zatarra Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Cam asa ard serverele de Lineage si GTA. E trist dar aveam si eu un server acolo. Noroc ca am backup pe un i3 pe post de server care ruleaza acasa. Sa speram ca nimic nu ia fac in backup location Quote
mariuss615 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 15 servere in sbg2 cu backup in sbg3. Clientul își da palme că nu a ascultat sa ia in alta locație backup-ul. Partea buna este că există un cold backup in Romania. Partea nașpa este că e vechi și conexiunea vai mama ei. Au fost PLATITE alte 15 servere pentru că OVH inca nu are o procedura. La suport tot ce ți se dă este un rahat de link unde zic că vor porni serviciile incepand cu 15 martie. Însă nimic legat de cei din sbg2 unde este clar că nu se mai recuperează nimic. Quote
UnixDevel Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 eu am 2 servere la ei folosesc proxmox cu cyberpanel saptamanal backup acasa la proxmox zilnic backup in gdrive am patito de multe ori sa raman in aer :))) Quote
