It all started when we decided to move posts to a whole new system of forums. In that process we screwed up. But we had made a backup just before, so we decided to go back to that, dropping the screwed-up database. Then it turned out that the most recent backup we made was truncated bacause of a memory limit, so it was unuseable.
This dropped us back to an older backup, which in this case was Over three weeks old!!!
This means that we lost: - All forum postings since October 4th
- All new member registrations since October 4th
- Records of donations since October 4th (this is recoverable...)
- All News items (recoverable too)
