Tarsnap is back online after yesterday's outage. It took slightly longer than I expected since I haven't needed to do a "full state recovery" since 2012 and I discovered partway through that the mechanism I put in place to make it possible to move machines between accounts broke things. (Note to self: I need to test this process more than once a decade!) The outage was from approximately 2023-07-02 13:07:58 UTC until approximately 2023-07-03 15:23:58 UTC. All stored data is safe; if your tarsnap process exited at 13:07:57 without errors then the archive it created is there. I'll be writing up a more detailed post-mortem later, once I've satisfied myself that everything is running smoothly and caught up on some sleep. Tarsnap users will be receiving an account credit equal to 50% of a month's storage costs. As always, feel free to email me if you have any questions. -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Deputy Release Engineer & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
