Blank Forums / Posts Missing?

[VS Admin]

We now have an estimated time available, which is that we expect all active forums to be back online within 3 hours based on current transfer speeds from our backup server to the new hard drive.

All forums starting with the numbers 0 to 9, or the letters a and b have now been restored.

You admins are so awesome.

[VS Admin]

All forums up to the letter L are back, still waiting on M through Z.

how long until T starts loading?

[VS Admin]

adabhoy88,

We're currently on the letter N. Nothing we can do to make things faster, but I would estimate about 1 hour.

My forums just came up a couple of minutes ago, but are missing every post made after June 30th. Probably close to 1000 posts lost.

Is this July backup going to happen at a later time, or was my forums "July backup" done on June 30th?

The replacement drive has been placed into the server, we are currently copying over forums from our July backup.

Does this mean that the posts up through July 26th will be restored too? I have no idea where you are on the July forums. Do you have an estimated time when mine will be restored?

Thanks!

Every forum is being restored to the most recently available backup.

I am just wondering, since you said your records show every forum was backed up at least once in July.

Should I wait for July posts to show up, or should I be telling my forum members they just lost 27 days worth of posts?

Thanks for the speedy replies, in any event. I realize it's late.

I would need your forum URL to verify, but every forum that I have checked to this point has been a backup from July 1st onward.

This forum has lost all July's posts too. Does this mean they are gone for good

So far, my forum is still missing everything posted after July 30th.
