To make things easier, we'll eventually recover all CVS/SVN from the May 27 backup, except for repositories that were already re-imported.
If you have a pending (non-processed) request about importing an earlier backup, we'll ask you confirmation. If you already imported and want to switch back to the May 27 backup, submit a new request, saying that you want to replace the current repository. Status: - CVS: right now we're dealing with data copies and data allocation delays, we'll get back to you within some hours - SVN: done - Git/Hg: we don't do anything right now; the new backup is still available in the backup-20090527 directory if necessary. Later we'll compare the last commit date with the May 27 backup, in case the project has no currently active admin and wasn't repushed yet. -- The Savannah Hackers On Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 12:53:56AM +0200, Sylvain Beucler wrote: > Good news: we discovered a new backup from May 27th. > After tests, it appears to be a complete backup. > > We've added a new backup-20090527 directory. > It's available for cvs/svn/git/hg. > > We're replicating to the disk at the moment (right now it's a > read-only remote mount). > > If you want to use it instead of the April backup, you can modify your > support request. > > -- > The Savannah Hackers > The FSF sysadmins > > On Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 11:13:00AM +0200, Sylvain Beucler wrote: > > In your requests, remember to specify: > > - name of the project > > - VCS type (CVS / SVN / both) > > - date of the backup to recover (April / May) > > > > -- > > Sylvain > > > > On Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 07:15:48AM +0000, Sylvain Beucler wrote: > > > > > > The system is now completely functional. > > > It's time to decide what to do with your data. > > > (see first explanations at > > > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-users/2009-05/msg00023.html) > > > > > > > > > Please discuss and send questions at savannah-us...@gnu.org ! > > > > > > For import requests: see below, you need to send a support request via > > > the web interface. > > > > > > > > > > > > Basically your choices are: > > > a) you can use the backup from April 29 > > > b) you can use our latest (incomplete) backup from May 29 > > > c) you can import another backup you have > > > d) you can wait a few days until we possibly recover latest data from the > > > crashes disk (nothing is sure though).
