The server was deleted, this is a backup from a month ago. There was an attack on our web server hosting company and they lost over 1,000 servers at the same time. So they were faced with having to format drives, install new OS's on all 1000 servers, then restore from encrypted & compressed backups of 1000 servers copied over to the drives which will take them months with 20 guys working 24/7.
So we bailed on em after they stringed us along for days with "we'll have you backup shortly" and setup at a new place but lost 1 month of data.
That's the official story. You might have noticed your fave tube site disappeared too, that's the same company.
