  1. @Trevor Tinsley Below is the RCA for last weeks outage:

    "At 16:26 BST on 14th June our monitoring systems detected a loss of connectivity to one of our datacentres (MDH - Maidenhead). This was a temporary loss of communication between the firewalls brought about by a temporary loss of power to a switch during routine maintenance. The power outage should not have caused any issues, but on this occasion, all remaining firewalls incorrectly took on master status. Steps were taken to resolve the issue by demoting secondary firewalls and this was completed at 16:42. The total impacted time was 16 minutes.

    A planned update to the firewalls which includes changes to mitigate this situation is already in place and will be scheduled over the coming months.

    The chance of the error occurring again is extremely low and we apologise for the inconvenience this will have caused."

  2. @Izu Normally this utility is used for wiping a new system of demo\test data before a go live.  I'm not sure there is any documented backup method as such and running the tool results in permanent data deletion.  There is a dry run option you can use with the utility though if you want to test it out before committing to a live run.  If you want a backup though that would likely need to go via the Cloud team.
