Resellers ? What do you mean ?My friend works for a hosting firm. They lost 20 odd servers with resellers on them. I dont know if they are getting any compensation or not.
I believed this "data" is referring to live server data and the players' online profile data.

It's for this, my company also affected
Fire Has Destroyed OVH’s Strasbourg Data Center (SBG2)
No OVH, firefighting, or local government services staff members were injured, the company said. Restart of surviving data centers on campus not anticipated until Monday.www.datacenterknowledge.com
I would imagine the scale/size of data lost here would be inappropriate for something like Steam Cloud. There's also the issue of ownership; it's possible the Rust devs wanted more control over who handles their data.
Yes but it's costly.
Which one?
that depends on what plan are you buying. Most cloud backups are expensive and offsite are also costly.
Rust is consistently on Steam's top sellers and peak concurrent users chart...that seems like a flimsy excuse.

Just backing up the databases will cost basically nothing. They just bought into the "cloud" myth is what I guess.that depends on what plan are you buying. Most cloud backups are expensive and offsite are also costly.
Well, at least this incident didn't happen after Rust is launching on PS4 and Xbox One:

No official announcements yet. Will keep you posted if there's any.
yup the games were affected, Maniaplanet, TM Turbo and TM2020, TM2020's been fixed so far i believe. I'll have to check is Nations/United Forever have been put back upReading this made me remember of an old ass racing game (Trackmania Nations Forever) with servers hosted by OVH. I wonder if it was affected as well or if they switched to another host some years ago.
You'd be surprised how often disaster recovery is overlooked. There's a lot of "it will never happen to us" type of thinking.

I've been in the meetings. People want DR but when they see the cost they want nothing to do with it. Our company moved from server racks in our office to server racks in a single DC. Really that just moved the single point of failure for live services to somewhere else. Somewhere safer and far more resilient yes, but still a single point of failure. We do also have constant backups, on and off site but backups are only great if you have something to restore to.You'd be surprised how often disaster recovery is overlooked.

Not sure what that means.
Most cloud infrastructure providers provide both redundancy options that can be entirely automated. Azure for example, provides in-region redundancy option where data is replicated across 3 separate datacenters in a region. For a higher price they also provide a cross-region redundancy option, where data is replicated from EU West to NA East or anything similar to offer an even higher data availability and security.
Yeah, I meant they just went with the bare minimum (or less even) and believed that nothing could happen, or they did not care, which is worse of course.Properly implemented cloud stuff would not be affected by this. They decided to not have regional redundancy, so sadly this fire killed their data.
Yes redundancy is more expensive, but it literally is just a toggle on Azure. If you go for Cloud, make sure you use the advantages of cloud, otherwise you are just renting a server rack.
I guess a fire that's big enough can overwhelm the defenses, especially if it causes walls to collapse and thus have oxygen flowing in from outdoors.The datacenters i know have all a ntrogen extinguishing system.
Weird that in this case the whole datacenter burned down.

Maybe it started outside the protected area and burnt its way in?Wouldn't be the case normally, because a big fire can't happen in an modern server farm envoirment.
Fire needs combustible, heat and oxygen, fire doesn't spawn without these things.

This wasn't just a small fire in the server room, after all.

"Some customers do not understand what they bought," he said, referring to confusion about OVH having its own backups of some services and no backups of other data. In future the cloudy concern will therefore just make customer backups a part of its products.
Threadmarked, considering the date of the article being published today.-- https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/17/ovh_restoration_update/
This is what I meant with: "They just bought into the "cloud" myth"
