Welcome back OFPEC, I'm so happy to see forums back up and running. I take it you lads have had a bit of a nightmare of late!

Anyway I've re-registered and look forward to the invaluable info this site provides, thanks for all the hard work.

What happened to the sql backups?

All the backups since 24th of October were incomplete, caused by the sql server crapping out, caused by a horrifyingly big error log. Here's an example.
Normal OFPEC Database
table_A -- normal size
table_B -- normal size
errorlogs table -- normal size
messages table -- normal size
table_F -- normal size
table_G -- normal size
...
full backup containing everything

OFPEC database with huge error log
table_A -- normal size
table_B -- normal size
errorlogs table -- HUUUUUUGE BIG ASS SIZE -- server makes backup and thinks "whoa this is enough for me, I'll just cut it from here"
messages table -- normal size -- doesn't make it in the backup
table_G -- normal size -- doesn't make it in the backup
...
backup contains everything before the logs table and some of the logs table, but nothing that comes after the logs table, like message data.

Thats a shame, a lot of important information was lost during the downtime with Armed Assault. Let's hope we can a lot of it back.

It wasn't importing that caused the dump to be cut, it was cut during exporting, ie. while the server was writing the dump. Unfortunately our host doesn't offer a way to export selected tables only. In the future, we'll just have to check each backup dump by hand.
