At Fri, May 16, 9:56 PM PST I got an error on one of my services saying that it couldn't access the database. Look at it right now, I can see that the database is completely empty and all data is GONE. No data, no backups, nothing.
My database is a postgres service with a volume attached.

I THINK I've found your drive. I'm going to attempt to restore it into another instance called (Postgres Restore)

@luiseel I believe that your database has been restored. I see 3 emprops_ databases*

Can you please validate at your earliest convenience?

I request that you do NOT delete the old instance so that we can perform foresics on what would have gone wrong on the old one

Perfect. We'll have a look at what happened here, but it looks like it selected a snapshot of an empty database. Did you happen to have an old one that you might have deleted? If not, we'll look into it

I have the same issue. I I'm looking at the logs and this happened when the migration to metal happened. I don't see the rollback button to restore it. It is a Postgres image.

^^This is quite odd because, this user has always been on metal

It looks like 7 weeks ago you deleted the volume
