If your backup snapshots are stored through OVH's normal backup functionality, then create a new server at e.g. RBX now, and restore from those backups. That'll take a few hours and it'll all be up again quickly.

Really sorry to hear, hope you get it restored. I cannot judge - I use the default backup options in Azure and hope they store it in another data centre but never though to check too hard. This is very bad luck.

Hopefully you had the code in GitHub but that still leaves the DB. It looks like your has something to do with command line or Linux lessons so not sure how much user data is critical? Maybe you can get this up and running again to some extent.

What was the reason of storing the backup on the same server? To allow for rollbacks in case of data corruption or some changes gone wrong?

I think they’re talking about the backup services provided by OVH, in which I believe they’re stored in RBX.

Yes, I thought rollbacks will be much easier in case of data loss. :sob:
