Would it not be an idea in future when doing any patching / moving to take a backup of the database as it stands before starting - that way a recovery is simple, rather than trying to repair everything, which takes forever
Apart from a DB backup being massive, they did back it up. If you read the dev blog they chose the lengthier option of fixing the corrupted entries instead of rolling back. Which do you prefer? An extended downtime? or logging in to find ISK missing from your missions you ran and that shiny ship you bought no longer there?

Primarily Cisco.

I suggest you re-read. They had A backup, but if they had taken a backup as the first step before starting any work then no isk would have been lost as nobody would have been logged in between those times.
Perhaps a Dev could let us know how long it takes to do a full TQ DB backup, out of curisoity.

That's awesome, love the pics :). kudos to CCP for getting the cluster back up and running after a full suite move which are a royal pain in the ass! We consolidated 3 of our suites about a year ago into 1 big suite with 120 racks and that was an absolute nightmare! So I feel your pain :)
Moar pics!
