When will we ever be able

[F6B1911]

We have attempted to get help from VBulletin on this issue. Their assistance just made it worse.
There has been a lot of time and coordination spent on this issue in the last couple of months.

As soon as SimTech is available we are planning on upgrading to a newer version of VBulletin with a new install. We will then test it and then load all of the existing data base into it.
We are expecting everything to be the same with the exception of all the old uploaded pictures in the actual posts. We are going to start over with uploaded pictures.

Just a stupid question here....but, Was there a backup plan or a disaster recovery plan??
I work in IT, and data loss is not an option and data recovery must be FAST and COMPLETE.
If there was data loss and I could not recover it, not only would I get fired, but I'd also get sued.

Maybe the Russians have planted spyware or malware !!!

Hopefully when the issue gets fixed, the owners will increase their pay by adding another $0 to their already high pay of $0,000,000/yr.

Yes everything was backed up last Feb when the server was moved. The program would not communicate properly after that with the picture files. They could not figure out why.
We did not have anything to do with that, just trying to make everything whole again now.
We are trying to get everything back as soon as possible. It is a lot of messing around. We are working with the tech that is familiar with this site.
