What's wrong with restoring from backups? This is one reason they exist after all. I don't think that making a mistake in delete statement is something you would do every week.
- lonelyasacloud 5y agoCould be that they are restoring from backups - just that that restoring from those backups is very very slow. Atlassian would not be the first where resourcing and testing a speedy disaster recovery strategy wasn't given the highest engineering priority.
- btgeekboy 5y agoThis whole debacle is Exhibit A. They’re lucky they have a sound backup strategy in place, and that the amount of data lost is appearing to be minimal.
- wrycoder 5y agoYea, and this whole thread is very informative for a non-db specialist like me!
- Gigachad 5y agoBecause you lose all the work done since the issue happened. It's very rarely acceptable to just give up and do a full backup restore unless literally everything is gone. If there was just some bug that cause partial issues, you have to find some other way to fix it.
