EAB's attachments and zone files from 20200922 were lost

RCK · 22 September 2020, 17:08

Hey guys,

In the process of migrating old websites to the new server, I accidentally removed the "eabdata" folder here (~100000 files in 5 secs).
Problem, it was all the EAB's attachment + the zone files

So I restored a backup from 20200922 at 04:00, but it means that any attachments or zone files that were uploaded today in the last 13 hours were lost.

If you upload something in the last 13 hours, please do it again

Sorry for the mess.

On a positive note, the backup system is still fully functional which is a comforting thought. You'd hate to figure out in a moment like this that the service had silently stopped about a year ago.

So eh... test passed, good job.

How do I manage my attachems? Today I hit the limit, can not upload more attachements - if I delete old ones, they will be missing in some posts I think? And how do I even delete those?

EDIT: I already found where I can delete them.

Some of the files can not be deleted, though. Tick box is missing next to them. Why?

It seems to be closed threads that prevent deleting attachments.

If you'd uploaded something in the last 2 years, please do it again
