So help the forum members understand why there were not regular backups of data over the years along the way. Its really unfortunate that so much information had to be lost forever/ disappear because a backup of data did not occur. Was this possible to do - but just not get done - or is it more complicated than that? And is there a plan for the backup of data going forward? Are we learning from mistakes made or could the same thing occur going forward? Not trying to stir the pot, just trying to understand why some preventive maintenance did not occur and therefore the lose of so much good information - which is really disappointing. Glad its back and running again though. Thanks for the efforts to try and recover the past.
It was a perfect storm of malfunctions at the server side.
Of course, you always learn from the unexpected... new features are in place.
Thanks for your concern.
It’s wonderful to have the forum back online, and you & everyone involved are greatly appreciated. But I suspect that this recent hiccup may discourage some people from putting much time and work into future posts – for fear it may all simply disappear again.
Can you add any to your explanation, and possibly give us an insight into some of the precautions being taken to try to avert this kind of thing in the future? I know there are no 100% guarantees, but some reasonable assurance that new processes are in place to safeguard against future disasters would be comforting.
I’m here no matter what because this is simply the best place in the world to communicate with fellow Shelby enthusiasts. THANK YOU for all your hard work on behalf of the Shelby community.
BTW, it’s funny to see you, the Administrator, listed as a Newbie. I guess there’s humor to be found in any situation if you just look hard enough.
