If anyone is wondering why I've not uploaded anything for a while.

First off I've had a bit of a block and couldn't think of anything to make.
Secondly, and probably more importantly is due to a massive data loss.

I had problems with port forwarding some of my services, deleted one of my servers tested and then restored it. However it didn't restore correctly and started to sync up with my other machines. Didn't realise till I went looking for a file.
While I thought I'd lost just my model and project files, with the completed renders being safe. That's not the case; I've lost everything and need to start again from scratch.

Well that'll teach me to have a more robust backup system in place, and gives me a good excuse to buy another server (never a bad thing).
The irony of this is certainly not lost on me as I spend a lot of time telling people of the 3, 2, 1 method for backing up.
My excuse was "well, it's synced up over multiple machines so will be fine." Problem is if you delete it off one, it goes from the others.
Classic case of "do as I say, but not as I do".

Thankfully Linux has some decent recovery tools and fingers crossed I should be able to get some/most of it back.
