Dreamhost Lost All Our Data and Took Us Down for a Week

As I’m sure you’ve all figured out… we’ve had some downtime.


Long story short, our web host, DreamHost, royally screwed us.


For a week we were down pending an “upgrade” that took way too long. A proffesional company should be able to do this with virtually zero down time, at most a few hours.


Well, not only did the upgrade knock us out for a week while they copied stuff over, but, as it turns out, they lost our entire database for our forums in the process. Every post, shout, PM… Gone. 6 years worth of data gone in a flash.


Luckily…. your friendly neighborhood sys admin (aka me) just so happened to make a backup of our database 3 days before we went down. I’ve restored us from this backup, and we should be okay. Though anything posted in the last couple weeks will be missing.
