MaxKVM RIP?
All services are gone, their own site doesnt even work anymore

0 Notice from company about the outrage, and impossible to get in contact. Luckily I backed everything up, so no lost data but this is extremely concerning

Fuck me
It’s lucky that you did the thing that you’re supposed to do with important data?
Lucky?
Really?
backup, thx
Sir, please direct me to the backup button on your panel, I cannot locate it.
If you insist...
I’ve been a bad girl, I deserve it.
Love that @MaxKVM liked some posts.
Backup needed if provider mentions RAID?
RAID is not a backup.
So.. yes.
LOL, not sure if that is you being sarcastic or you really believe raid has anything to do with backups. you "stupid" ?
You're both very wrong. Please research raid ...
Sure, my research lead me to https://www.raidisnotabackup.com/
Could you explain why you think it's not true?
”research my tits”
~Nekki
promise?
ah, yeah, sorry I am totally new to the concept of raid...
why this was a question then?
I am afraid the latter it is then.
Absolutely. RAID helps you sleep a little more soundly knowing there’s an additional layer of resilience, but without multiple redundant backups, you ain’t sleeping all night.
backup is not currently a priority.
if there's deadpool, backup is nothing.
if there's coming-back, clients don't need a backup. waiting then is what we can do.
it's transparency what has happened we should put to the top list and we may know what we should do.
RAID 0 is the best backup evvaaaarr!! ;-)
I really hope I said this previously. If I didn’t, you’re the new Nekki and I will leave LET.
Sure, but you’re buying me Taco Bell first and dealing with the consequences.
I just did my own research and my conclusion is that raid is similar to off-shore backups in availability.
Not sure but i felt you would say something like that.
you're doing better than @deank here ... well played, really got me!
@emgh this is the only Backup you need - yoloraid.com
Here is the question - can you afford to wait for the provider to recover the data, in the event of a drive or controller failure? This is the key difference - if you have a proper backup strategy, you are a configuration or DNS change away from restoring service. Recovering a RAID array due to a busted controller could take days.
When using RAID data is stored on multiple drives, thus no need for complication.
a) that doesn’t address the recovery time question and b) multiple drives makes no difference if the RAID controller fails, the array is then ‘lost’ in practical terms and unusable until is it rebuilt (if rebuilding succeeds).
