This page serves as an explanation for the data loss incurred by [[TechPubs Wiki:About|TechPubs Wiki]] in August of 2025 and explains steps taken to ensure this will not occur again.

== Background ==
TechPubs was created in early 2025 by Raion to serve as a home for SGI documentation of a higher quality than other sites.

== Disaster ==
Due to circumstances beyond Raion's control, in August of 2025, our host Virtarix lost our VPS, and all backups before anything could be noticed missing.

Theme backups, configs and site code all were backed up as were early articles and such, but images, final versions of articles etc. were not.

== Postmortem and Steps for Remediation ==
Several trusted community members are provided backups of the TechPubs database and assets now to decentralize it from being lost. Raion has also set up a "death plan" in case of any situations where he suddenly passes away. His brother, Haze, has been given instructions on handling of all IRIXNet and TechPubs assets.
