I assume there are off-site backups, though?

Asking as someone who was impacted by the OVH fire last week, and I didn't have recent backups and therefore lost data.

I've been waiting to see a comment like this somewhere. Just a hugops from the internet and a reminder to all who see this to get your backups fire-proof and off-site.

Yes, we've got a good backup system thanks to the greatly-missed sctb.

Sorry to hear that, that sucks.
