All the sticky topics are gone?

Post by **ssilk** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 9:34 pm

You may wondered where all the sticky topics here in General are?
One of the moderators did delete them today morning.

...of course accidentally

We hope, that we have some backup and that the missing articles can be recovered on Monday then.

Sorry for that, but we have currently a wave of spam and bad things happen when bad things happen.

Ok, now I know why the topics are gone.
Yes, a backup would be great, writing this all from scratch could take a while...

I'll look into it, saturday's backup was probably a bit late, so 5 days old will have to do.

Actually, would you happen to know the time of the accident?

Only this forum? That would be these topics, right?

Found it in the log. Doesn't look like it was only sticky posts, I'll recover all the topics that were deleted, but in the morning, they will be unfortunately versions from 5 days ago. I'll try too look into backing up more often.

Restored from a 5 day old backup.
Posts seem to not have been deleted, so it should be fine though.

Post by **HanziQ** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 11:48 pm

Or maybe not, hold on.

Post by **HanziQ** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 11:54 pm

Ok, that seems to be fixed now.

Post by **Smarty** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 11:55 pm

everything is back?

Post by **HanziQ** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 11:57 pm

Should be.

Post by **ssilk** » Sun Jan 17, 2016 12:32 pm

Nice. Always a relief, if you see, that backup is really working.

Very good weekend-job HanziQ.

So I'll unsticky this and move it to This Forum.
