    Is there any kind of heartbeat/drbd or even mysql replication in use or planned to prevent disaster or make recovery more expedient?

    I mean, I don't think there has been a single after disaster report posted. No indication it's even had thought time put into it.

    Read the second post....Of course we will have better backups in the future.

    We kept people updated throughout the process so everybody that wanted to know has the information for what happened. I certainly don't see the need for an "after disaster report"....we had RAID fail and didn't have a separate backup for the character/user account table but everything else on Liberator was safe.

    No, you had a process failure.

    That surely was a process failure. Luckily no data has been lost but some kind of hardware failure could occure again and should be adressed so that it will not happen on production servers. And there should be a report with the failure, the consequences and taken actions.
    The fact is this is an open source project and industrial processed can not be applied as it was a company run project. People are spending their spare time on this project and can not apply all the rigorous processes that are used in the industry. And dev software experimented people will agree with me that even in compagnies, heavy process can be a total failure if they are not correctly applied and managed by process specialists.
    I m not telling you that open source projects are low quality softwares but that quality is reached through other ways (swgemu has far a better software architecture than the official one, just wait for its power to be unleashed). Just my two cents.
