Of course that would not be acceptable. But the Babel vserver *is* being backed up -- but not by the
Foundation, by myself, as committer on Babel as part of my project
duties of caring for my project's vserver.
Apologies for not being clear enough. The Foundation does not back up
vserver data; that is up to the project. On behalf of the project, I am
doing so.
For what it's worth, had the Babel translation site been in a live,
production mode, I would not just casually let it sit unreacheable for
so long either.
I hope this clears things up.

Denis,
The "Foundation does not back-up the Babel machine" is not going to be
acceptable if we are asking our community to contribute translations
and we are storing them on that server. So we either need to move the
babel.eclipse.org database to another machine or we need to do backups
of that disk so that our community can safely put hundreds and hundreds
of hours of work into the translations without fear that we are going
to randomly lose it.

P.S. Maybe I'm clueless and the Babel database is stored somewhere else
already? From this email, it sounds like the Babel database is on the
vserver, but I admit I'm not positive of that.

I'll try to recover the vserver images as best I can; however, there is
a possibility that I may need to rebuild the entire vserver host. Just
as a reminder, the Foundation does not maintain backups of vserver
data.
