last update says they were able to restore a version

Updated on Thursday, 9:58 PM +0200: we're not sure we will be able to provide the data but we were able to recover a version of the filesystem from right before the crash

I have been using them for DNS and some minor hosting for a long time and I will stay with them. I think it's important to avoid the monoculture/centralisation which is otherwise happening.

Sure Gandi has their flaws, they are humans.

I expect they do will a proper post-mortem on what went wrong and how they managed to fix it. Seems they were using ZFS and relied on it a bit too much. Or if they indeed managed to restore the last snapshot, then their only error might have been the classic one of underestimating how long restoring/investigating several terabytes take even on modern HW.
