So, what went wrong?
The main database server crashed. It did this in a horrible way, leading to a few unrecoverable tables. Lets make this worse, it was in the middle of backups.
We have restored from backups, heres what we lost:
Last 4 days of snatch history (This includes seedtimes, per torrent ratio, etc)
Last 3 days of user specific info (new invites, global stats like upload/download/bp, some settings)
lots of change logs/notes for torrents
Moving forward, what are we doing:
Looking at completely changing our backup method, to get more frequent snapshots, but hopefully with less interruption to users.
Looking at getting a slave mirror of the database thats offsite (this is going to be harder, due to potential bandwidth requirements).
While we are back up now, its a sober reminder to check and double check your backups are working right.
