Unfortunately it looks like it will be some time to resume full service. The main Pavlovia server is, we believe, undamaged but its building currently has no power. Unfortunately, OVH have stated that it will take several days to restore the building power source (it’s a 20 Kilovolt supply).
We are already rebuilding the server, at another data center, from our off-site backups (see info below about backups), but copying over the terabytes of data will take some time as well. We are exploring the option to bring the server back, live, while data continues to arrive from backup (fancy!).
