| Re: Anyone know what's up with Stratics?
I am not about to act like I know the set-up of Stratics or any of it's datacenters. Stratics had a catastrophic data loss. This is a given. But, this I know from personal experience. If they try and restore the databases from backups.....that are hmm let's say corrupted. It is possible they are dealing with a data recovery process that is more than a typical nightmare.
My company back in '98, had a database loss....it was corrupted by a DBA that was less than spectacular (that's another story). The recovery process began.. and 16 hours later we determined that we had corrupted back-ups back 9 days. Which means we recovered 9 days prior to the real-down time. That 9 days worth of data had to be re-created manually. We wrote programs to scrape data from hard copy reports...basically anything that would help. We allowed no one near that system until we had completed this process. Total downtime: 8 days
So, I know depending on the loss and all pieces of the puzzle. It is possible working around the clock that they are still putting everything back together and verifying everything. Let's cut them some slack.
