Ok, thankfully I had a replica server running that I could recover my data from.

In total I lost 9 hours of server uptime while I was asleep.

This has damaged my reputation and I'm extremely unhappy about this.

Google described this as a beta so I knew there would be some downtime. But not fatal errors that could have lost my entire database.

This was only my second day with Second Generation and I experienced 2 huge problems. There should be warning labels all over this thing.

WARNING - UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT - RISK OF DATABASE LOSS

I'm now downgraded to first generation. I pray it's more stable.

I've left the server alive for now in case anyone from Google wants to inspect it to find out what happened.

It's still backing up.....12 hours later.....
