Easter was about camp fire near server stations....🤦*♂️

Hey everyone!

I have been meaning to setup a topic to explain what was going on but had so much to do this morning since the server has been reconnected. Giang is correct, so basically there was a fire in the server data center which forced all servers to turn off. They have been turning on all servers slowly since and luckily ours is back up and running since this morning.

Please let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks guys 🏓

Yeah Yogi told me that... seems that the OVH story is repeated again, the covid lockdowns all over the world are stressing the internets, here in France school students can't all have access to the national website in charge of home schooling/distance teaching, the CNED ( Centre National d'Education à Distance translation: distance teaching national centre). People are getting crazy here since Aztraneca/Oxford serves vaccines to UK first and does not respect its contract with the EU. If you add internets breakages to that, it's a kind of "yellow jackets civil war" that is incubating...

Good thing TTD is back online!! Dan, the info and posts here are priceless. Do you have a back up?

Hey Music&Ping,

Yeah basically the Academy server was on a separate network so we were able to get this back up and running quicker. We also have a different backup process with the Academy so it is much quicker to get back online than TTD. TTD contains TONS of data haha. We're all back now though, phew 😅

Hey WinaTT,

You're right there. We're currently looking into this but it can get very costly. Looking for a decent solution at the moment.
