Guessing it's not a Database issue since I imagine the DB is backed up daily and then a simple restore would only mean a loss of up to 24hours of posts. But it's been days with this issue now, so I assume it's not DB related. But then again, I would also imagine that the non-DB files would also be backed up daily. so hmmmm... unless there is no backups. Or there is a separate DB server backup with a possible hardware issue and the user DB is separate from the posts DB. Which makes no sense. But either way, at least 1 server is running and if the backups are available, seems a restore would not take long while restoring other servers... hmmm. Any updates? Sorry for my ramblings.
