Faulty peripheral power supply killed my server a little over a day ago.
120 gigs of MySQL data just wouldn’t come up - backup is far from recent. My fault. Most corrupted tables were of course in Friendica.
After much nail chewing everything now appears operational again with minimum(?) data loss.

In other words: can you all read me? ;-)

    Holy cow, 120 gigs in a database?

    Also remember, you don’t want a backup solution, you want a restoration solution :-)

      Hear hear! You don’t own a backup if you’ve never restored it before. Words to live by both in corporate and self-hosting environments.
