While working on a small fix to lemmy, that was causing some unneeded cpu usage, I made a change that unfortunately caused the db and pictrs service storage to be deleted.
Thankfully I have backups of everything, so I went to restoring from a backup. However the restoring was very slow, since I used an unoptimal way to backup the db(raw sql dump).
After the first backup completed, I found out that it was missing data, so I tried an older backup, but that didn't work either. It was missing data as well. So I tried a backup from another server(Since I backup to 2 different servers), which finally worked.
Usually restoring from backups, haven't taken too long previously, since my backups are faily small, but I will need to look into a quicker way to restore backups for lemmy, since the backup size of lemmy is much bigger.
NOTE: Data from ca. 2 hours before the site went down(16-18 UTC) will be missing and I'm unable to restore it.
