Yes, there were some server issues yesterday:
http://support.unamesa.org/message/view/TiddlyWiki.org/14956510

Everything should be back to normal now.

Indeed. I've contacted the sysadmin, hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Turns out the machine's hard drive was corrupted. We're doing a restore
and hope to be back online soon (e.g. by tomorrow). Backups from
yesterday look good, so hopefully there will be no data loss.

Don't know if TRAC's content is also in SVN, but at least on the
Translations page ( http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Translations )
we've lost 3 months of updates.
Are you aware of this, and will there any further recovery?

Thanks and regards,

Ton van Rooijen

[Ton van Rooijen]

In looking further I also found that several new translations for TW
v2.5.0 and up, that for sure were already checked in in SVN, are gone.
At least I know this for Spanish and Dutch, but I am sure there were
more.
What a shame. I hope some forward recovery is still possible.

Thanks and best regards,

I understand UnaMesa (who host tiddlywiki.org on behalf of the
community) are working on recovering from backups.

Given a large number of us regularly take updates, I think at most we
will have collectively on "lost" only a few hours work. Still
annoying, but hopefully will be fixed soon!

Yes - it seems the wrong backup had been restored. The proper recovery
is in progress:

I'm hopeful that we'll get a full backup, without losing any work.
I have a local Git clone of the SVN repo (last updated Oct 3), so worst
case I push that up to restore the data.

We have been working hard to restore everything back to normal. I'll
elaborate below. UnaMesa will follow up with more details, including the
steps they are taking to prevent similar incidents in the future.

In short:
* No code was lost.
* A few minor commit messages were lost.
* Some Trac data (ticket changes, wiki edits) might remain lost.

The most recent backups had been corrupted. The latest valid backups
were taken on Sept. 6. Luckily, I had a local Git clone of the
Subversion repository containing all files' latest state as of Oct. 3
and including the commit history starting from Sept. 11.

Thus about 50 commits (between Sept. 7-10) had to be combined into one a
single commit:
http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/changeset/10612
The files listed in that commit suggest that there were no important
commit messages during that period.

The remaining commits (Sept. 11 to Oct. 3) were then reapplied.

As for Trac, unfortunately we'll have to manually restore the tickets
and wiki edits from that four-week period.
For that we're resorting to using Google's cache and our feed readers'
archives of the Trac timeline feed. This record is not complete (e.g.
new and closed tickets are covered, but not all ticket changes), so any
suggestions on alternative avenues would be most welcome.

Indeed - great to know no code was lost here.

[jnthnlstr]

One last problem I'm having - I don't seem to be able to login to trac
or commit any code - is it possible my user account has been lost?
It's jayfresh.

I assume both systems are still in read-only mode for the recovery
process. I've asked the sysadmins to restore write access to SVN, as
that should be fully operational now. I believe we're aiming for Trac to
reopen by Wednesday.

That's done now.

Smashing, thanks.

I've seen that SVN is now recovered as for the recently published
translations (at least for ES and NL up to TW v2.5.3). But the
Translation-page on Trac (http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/
Translations) is still missing several updates.
Is recovery still in progress or do we have to recover this info
manually and individually? Please advise.
Thanks a lot / Ton.

[Martin Budden]

Unfortunately we could not recover the Trac changes, so we will have
to recover this manually. So, if you can, please redo any updates you
made that got lost.
