MongoDB Volume Restore

vestigyPRO

9 months ago

I had a MongoDB database service in the US West region. I decided to move it to Singapore. During the migration errors occurred and I decided to move back. But after migrating back almost all my data is lost. I can see in the dashboard that it is there, but I can't retrieve it in any way. I even tried uninstalling the service and screwing that volume back to it, but now there is nothing at all. Please help me as soon as possible. It would be nice to rollback to the beginning of September 28 and download a dump of that database

Your mongo instance definitely has stuff in it

There's 114GB of stuff there

Yes, we removed MongoDB services, but we didn't delete the volume. Data was lost during the transfer to another region

How soon will action be taken? We are losing our reputation and revenue because of your migration error. We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars and we would not want to be idle for so long. We are willing to go to a higher rate or something else to get you to restore the database

Hi, as I mentioned before, your data is there

Whatever you've done, it's on the application level

Can you tell me what error you're running into? What data is "missing"

Because you have ~200GB worth of stuff in here

We have a completely empty database. We manually looked at the volume and there is no data in it. Please rollback all changes to the project until September 28th

In the users collection (database name: test) we last saw 22K users, but the actual number of users is 14M+. Just roll it back 24 hours

We were migrating our MongoDB database from US West to Singapore and during the migration we encountered a problem that broke all the data

Sorry, and now it's back in us west?

How did you manage that? We lock failed migrations for a reason here…

Did you make a new service and delete your old service? This Mongo instance had it's first deployment 15 hours ago

Now we're back in the US West. We have been removing MongoDB services and creating new ones by baiting them with old volume

Oh man

Can you just rollback the project as you have done before with other users?


9 months ago

We do not do this for other users

But we can see that our data is there, but where?


9 months ago

That's what we're looking into

At the time of the transfer, your dashboard showed that we were supposedly running out of space, even though we clearly had it

Also, if you want a higher level of service, we're definitely going to have to talk about that after

Having us respond and then you torch us on social media because you didn't respond here doesn't work for us

We will remove it if you really try to help us. We had no other options and your support was silent. Our app has been idle for over a day

We will talk about this after

Okay, we deleted the post.

After we fix your problem

We've found your volume and we're looking to roll it out. We will redeploy your instance and are working on getting it back up with the data


9 months ago

Please do not deploy it while we do this


9 months ago

Can you check if your data is restored? We think we tracked back down your original volume

Database Connection

We are unable to connect to the database over the public network.

Can you connect using this command?

Hindsight 20/20, but how could you NOT schedule db backups? Also, I don't get the point of that (deleted) tweet, it screams attack vector & too lazy to do db backups
