News & Announcements / Incident March 10th - Datacenter Burnt Down
« Last post by Thomy on March 12, 2021, 11:44:29 am »Hello everybody!
The datacenter emps was hosted on burnt down completely in the night of March 10th. There were no casualties other than a few bytes being lost in the fire.
I've already hired new server hardware and was able to get the game back up and running on the same day. There was a rollback of roughly 20 hours to the most recent backup I had. I spent the my past 2 days restoring the entire emps server. We are getting there but a few things are still missing.
Since our forum is more or less completely back online I'm continuing my report here:
If you are missing items from donations please make a helpdesk ticket: https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?action=helpdesk;sa=newticket
I will have a look at it as soon as we have everything fully back up and running. Progress made from the rollback sadly cannot be restored. We don't have any data from the day the fire happened.
I'm sorry for things that have been lost in the fire but this was quite an unexpected incident. I'm also working on further measures to be better prepared should such an emergency happen another time.
All the best,
Thomy
