Little Creek Hosting Down

We have had a major malfunction. Server306 went down. Littlecreekhosting.com was hosted on that machine. I am running some recovery tools on it tryin to recover data but I don't yet know what the outcome will be. It may be another couple of hours before I know.
All the other servers and vps are working though.

Do you not have your website backed up?
what are backups?
What happened to it? Hardware failure?
And why didn't you keep backups?
@LittleCreek 3-2-1 is the minimum
Filesystem corruption on the VPS storage volume — not a hardware failure, all 5 NVMe drives are healthy. We're currently running e2fsck on the volume and making progress.
As for backups — we do have them. I have a backup of the littlecreekhosting.com VPS from June 21, and roughly 100 other VMs also have backups from the past week. However, I'm not ready to restore from backup yet because not every customer has one, and I don't want to wipe a potentially recoverable volume and lose data for those who don't.
Right now we're letting the filesystem repair run its course. Once we know what's intact, we'll have a clearer picture of who needs to be restored from backup versus who can be brought back directly from the repaired volume. I'll post an update as soon as we have more to share — appreciate your patience.
