Roughly 32 hours of posts were lost when the RAID 10 array failed in spectacular fashion last night (just before the backup for the day's posts could be completed).

This means that any posts made from about 2:05am on the morning of July 23, 2019 until the site was restored at about 11:05am were lost. New member registrations, PMs, files uploaded, etc. are lost.

We successfully restored the site (all files, the databases, etc.) from the backup made early in the morning on July 23, and ask that you please re-create any posts that you felt were worthwhile that you lost in the 32 hours or so that we no longer have.

I'll be here in this topic to answer any other questions you might have.

Thank you.

Ouch, gotta love the life of IT sometimes. We moved from nightly to a more granular hourly backup, but with our work losing 32 hours of data would result in probably a week or more of people redoing their work while trying to keep up with current work.

Yeah, hourly would, IMO, be massive overkill for a site like TST, but I'm sure I'll review the policies and backup settings.

At the end of the day, I don't know that anyone said anything too important. And 32 hours is a pretty small amount of time, all things considered.

I'm troubleshooting an error that occurs when you attempt to upload a file.

I agree, Vinsk probably didn't.  OTOH, I'm sure I had said many brilliant things that I'll now never remember ..

Sorry for your troubles, Erik.  For a RAID 10 array to have taken a crap it must have been spectacular, and the stuff of nightmares for a guy like me.  As far as backups are concerned, most modern solutions backup at the block-level these days, and will also dedupe the data, which helps reduce both storage requirements and the time that making a backup takes.

Yep to all of that. The backups are to a pretty recent standard and, yes, they're incremental.

Are you planning on putting in 10,000 hours of practice?

Nope. 1500 should do it. I'm a natural ball striker with a strong mental game. I have impeccable putting skills, but 1000 of those practice hours will be solidifying my 3-6' putts. You can't win on tour if you miss those. 😉

@iacas - I'm glad you got the site back up. It must have been a long night.

Nothing happened until about 2:04am today. In fact, it may have been the backup process that runs at 2:05am that may have prompted the problems to finally "break" something, so really it's just been since I woke up at 7am that I've been doing this. And by 11:00 they'd rebuilt the RAID array and got it back online, and I've just been tacking down a few little things (like uploading through the site) since.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
