I'm setting up backup for the For You database and I'm trying to do a restore from the backup on the hard-drive to the nvme. This eats up all disk IO and makes the feed super slow. I should get it back up in 20 minutes.
@spacecowboy17.bsky.social you've probably heard this already from a bunch of others, but For You is frozen up, is everything OK?

a) Make a backup.
b) Verify your backup.
c) Find out how long it takes to restore your backup.

One of the servers (a PDS) went down. We tried to reboot it and it failed. Our provider is looking into it. Data is safe, we can restore it from a backup if needed, but we're waiting to hear if they can restore the machine.
Some users won't be able to log in until this is resolved.

I'm going to have to completely stand up a new instance and restore a backup.
Slop bots took AH down hard - literally had to go back to Sunday's night's backup to restore it, because they crashed the server during an overnight update.

I may be screwing Future Me by leaving this for her to deal with but Past Me did me a real solid with setting up multiple backup systems, that's for sure. (Have confirmed second backup is good and am downloading the critical stuff before trying a full restore.)

Then it restored my last full backup but refused to restore any of the incremental backups that ran since, so I had to turn to my alternate backup system to rescue everything from then and the backup backups aren't one-click restore
