It might not be a coincidence to have the HDD fails when merging pub 9 on Bas.
Saving the data as it was, do not insure that more problems will arise or not.
Best course of action to a TEST server is not saving memories or fortunes, is to take the proper actions to achieve the main goal.
With a Clean DB and a Pub 9 merge, has the benefit that, bugs that are reported after, have no association to a recovered DB.
Again this is my opinion, and has no purpose of trolling, just my POV.
They've mentioned before some bugs came from year old data, they also need this as a stress test for when Suncrusher is out. If this happened to Suncrusher they would attempt to fix that to, this is a good trail run.
