00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The YouTube channel Petabyte Project is working to recover data that was lost due to a software issue. The team will need some financial assistance to build a new server that can hold all of the data. The author urges viewers to back up their data to avoid a similar situation.

• 00:00:00 The YouTube channel Petabyte Project has lost a large amount of data due to a software issue. The team is working to recover the data, but it will require some money and help from a sponsor, Hetzner.
• 00:05:00 The author describes a situation in which data corruption led to the loss of three petabyte-sized storage arrays. The arrays were never configured to shut down cleanly, meaning data integrity checks were not performed even when reading data. The author recommends building a new 1.2 petabyte server that features Seagate's new 20 terabyte drives in order to move data from the Old Vault cluster onto it.
• 00:10:00 The author of the video talks about a previous experience where they nearly lost all of their data due to a failed server. He notes that, fortunately, this time around the data is mostly safe, but warns that proper backup procedures are important in case something goes wrong.
