> Dear all,
>
> A bit more of info on the incident we experienced at the beginning of the
> week.
>
> Two hard disks broke down on Saturday (5/Jan) at 2am and 8 am respectively.
> We were fully prepared for a single one (we use redundancy) but two at the
> same time is too much. To make things worse, the last daily backups had
> failed and the last usable backup we had dated back from Thursday night
> (2/Jan) at 23:58 and this is the one we have restored. This means that if
> anyone used the forge on Friday or Saturday, the changes have got lost.
>
> Any changes in any of these tools last Friday have possibly disappeared.
> Going a bit into detail, this impacts:
>
> All wikis (public, private, chapter wikis)
> The SVN (I doubt that anyone used this on these dates)
> Docman
> The "Files" tool
> Trackers
> Forge accounts (just one person affected, this is already fixed)
> Subscribers of mailing lists (no changes here, if I am right)
>
> The good news is that the level of activity of Friday, 3 was unusually low,
> nearly no one was using the forge. I was at work that Friday, and checked
> the activity log of the public wiki on Saturday... there were changes from
> just two people (myself one of them). I am hoping that the situation is
> similar in other tools and that this has not caused too much harm to any of
> you.
>
> We are now thinking how to migrate to a new place, the same one that hosts
> the Testbed (Red.es servers located in Seville). Our apologies for all the
> trouble this may have caused.

> Best regards,
