Great job! very happy indeed for the Devs that they've managed to retrieve the database and hope the stress testing will confirm it's all good and the project can move forward on Monday. Good luck!

That's great news! so , whats the new back-up disaster recovery plan for the long term? were new drives purchased? Amazon S3 50$ for 2TB monthly? some other plan in place? I would hope there is some cloud option. it would be good to know if this has been discussed so we don't have a repeat of the situation . thanks for all your hard work.

There will be a post mortem post with solutions when the dust settles.

You wouldn't enjoy a sangwich with vlada. Vlada is a bit hard to swallow and digest, bitter AF too.

Using object storage like S3 for a live databases is not a good idea. Read up on the differences between object storage and block storage. Object storage is great for things that need to be read frequently and written infrequently. A live data base is being written to often, this makes it a horrible choice for a data base.
