During this morning our sites had been offline for some hours (starting at approximately 7 am UTC+1). All of this started with an overload of our server that had forced us to reboot the machine. After that, we saw that most of the files were gone. So, we download our backups from S3 and restored them. However, the last backups weren’t correct and we had to use a backup from October.
How it will affect you? All the attached files in the forum since October/November are missing. So, if you have attached files in the forum you should upload them again.
Please, contact us if you see something inusual. We’re still recovering: demo.osclass.org and download packages from geo.osclass.org/downloads Sorry for the inconvenience, we are going to improve our backup system and recovery from this kind of failures.
