I can give it a go, although I don't expect much given my result with strings.
And if you've gone this far without it, honestly is the data worth all the time / money it would take to recover vs rebuilding from your last backup and going forward with it?
Unfortunately between my last good backup and the disaster is >1 month and there's some important stuff in the intervening time... At the end of the day it's all worth $0 (insert "losing millions" joke here), but it's also subjectively important to me and quite a few other people.
Also, as you have now experienced your probably first data loss it seems, welcome to the club. Please refer to standard backup thinking of 321 backups:
3 copies of your data (at least)
2 different types of media (preferable though these days that can also mean different NAS / Backup / providers)
1 of them (at least) offsite.
For example, one of my photographer friends has two different drives in his house with his client data in different parts of the house. A third copy lives at his mother in laws house like 30 min drive away in a fire proof safe, he rotates this one when he visits her with one of the ones from his house and then updates the one he brings back with any changes. And I think he also puts his original source (in this case sdcards from camera) in a bank safe deposit box. Bit more than the 321 rule but as he said, if something manages to take out all those sources of his data, it's probably because something more pressing like WW3 has broken out in which case his photo data won't be his priority anyway. Otherwise, one of the sources will survive and he can use his photos to try and recover his business.
Personally, I have two local backup servers (each has 2 drives with data) in case of a single drive failure. I also have 3 offsite backup servers on different providers (and 2 different countries even: france and US (la & nj currently)) that run every night. All of the automated routines are run via restic but there are a bunch of other options such as borg, duplicati/duplicity, etc. Restic actually has a list at https://github.com/restic/others
The other key thing is ACTUALLY CHECK YOUR BACKUPS ON A REGULAR BASIS. Far too many people setup an automated routine then never go back and check it even once, let alone on a regular basis. Stuff changes, packages can update or some required library can be updated and make your routine stop working as desired, etc.
It's one reason why I picked restic for my automated stuff, it's pretty easy to connect to the different backup endpoints as each host and look through the data, can even mount it as a local fuse directory and browse through the whole file structure, open files, etc.
Apologies if you already have something like this setup now, but I thought it might be useful for you or someone else in this situation.
Thanks! One of the tragedies of this is that I "should have known better"/"knew better" but I've never had a data loss event before. Might be one of those lessons that must be learned the hard way... I was complacent, and never got an (automated!) backup procedure in place.

Automation is key; if you have to actively do something to generate your backups, then you'll forget / not get around to it just before your hardware fails. I swear drives can tell when you've been thinking "I really should do another backup..."

Yep, most people don't take it too serious until they lose something important that causes them financial or emotional distress basically.

@bula said: @VirMach any hopes of getting replacement Dedicated server? Its been over 5 weeks now since the CC server shutdown.
Ref. Ticket #342867 if it helps.
Your combination of preferences has made it more difficult to fill. We can get you one if you can throw out some other potential preferences and we do have a sheet we update with the specifications and keep an eye out.
All I want is something equivalent of the hardware specs I previously had under you. If location is an issue or specs, please advice and we can go from there.
I don't have it pulled up in front of me but for your requirements, if the location is not a problem then reply to your ticket or confirm here and I'll make a note that it doesn't have to be the locations you specified and it'll speed it up.

The new ATLZ007B node has been stable and has greatly improved disk performance over the old ATL007 Node.
I noticed the improved performance via real world metrics so I wanted to show it for others with yabs below.
I wonder if @Virmach changed the NVMe drive type or if there is some other magic sauce that he is using to get this performance increase.

It's an outage report ticket. All we do for those is read the title and decide if a network status needs to be opened for it or if anything needs to be done and we're already working on it. We didn't add it to outage report because it's not actually offline, it's just a panel issue, and the outages on network status page are already very cluttered so we're reserving it just for actual outages right now.
Also you're not in Amsterdam, it's in Frankfurt, unless I looked at it wrong? Anyway FFME001 has uptime of 49 days and most VMs are running. Yours may potentially be offline and controls are broken though still but I'm just answering on why the report outage ticket was closed.

Exact same condition with me( same node )
Haven't used the vm since it's migration because the vm is offline and can't able to control the vps through panel since it's broken.
Am I eligible for the refund during these times?
It also generated invoice which I have to pay by 18th 😅 paying for vps which I can't even operate.
Refund of vps for this time period should be considered for such users.

My dilemma ..
2 dedicated servers that have a payment now due that has an OS installed that I cant use and no way to install what I need.
Was given the last 30 days free for the troubles of no warning and losing my last 2 servers but they have been worthless since I cant use them.
I have been a customer of @virmach since 2018 .. debating if I should move on and call it a day?
TYC040B coming soon? 🫢
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
I can't tell you what to do, but I can you tell you about my similar situation and what I"m doing. I also have a dedi that got 30-free days and is waiting for an OS re-install. It also has a /29 instead of a /28 it originally came with. I'm canceling it, which ends right about after the 30-free days, which is soon. Same thing for a few cheap VMs that seem to be a lost cause. I have a bunch of other systems that eventually got through the migration so I'll keep those for now. There will always be other providers and future deals.
