[Solved] Transfer to ricky gone wrong

Recommended Posts

I asked for an invite and was given one.  I followed the link and I signed up with the same credentials as before, but after 48 hours I am getting:

 

"That account has been backed up and then taken offline due to extended maintenance on the server that you were on. Occasionally we need to rebuild our servers to keep them operating at peak performance. This process usually takes a week or so. In the meantime we recommend downloading your backup, and then creating a new account. You can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook for the latest news. Once your server is operational again we will make a news post, and then you will be able to transfer your account back to the server you were on if you want to. If you need help with anything please don't hesitate to contact support."

 

Did i mess up or is this normal?

it worked now.  Thanks a lot.

 

I had 2 subdomains which have their dns still cleared yet.  Do you mind clearing them.

 

resins.com.mt

resin.com.mt

 

Thanks.

 

Also the global email rules are not restored when the backup is uploaded.  I read that these are usually stored in /etc/vfilters/$domain

 

Is there a way I can get them back?

 

Thanks again.

Stuff like this is impossible to backup on a server that won't boot. To make matters worse several system partitions like /etc and /var were the ones that were affected by the dead hard drive so it wasn't possible to recover any data from them at all. We actually got really lucky that /home and /home1 and /var/lib were all unaffected so we were able to backup what we did.

Byron / Krydos, thanks for the work you've all been been doing.

 

Krydos thanks for the backups.  

 

I will rebuild the rules off the top of my head.  Lesson learnt.  If I do a backup of the setup on ricky (with the global email rules in place) will they be inluded in the backup?  Or do should I just screenshot the rules as backup?
