Yandex Irretrievably Lost 2.84% of Yandex Cloud Customer Data
The company managed to restore access to 97.16% of the information following serious damage to data center equipment.
Yandex reported that some customer data on the Yandex Cloud platform could not be recovered. The losses amounted to 2.84% of the information. According to the company, the cause was critical damage to equipment and the absence of backup copies.
Meanwhile, users who had pre-configured backup copying retained all their data. Following the incident, Yandex decided to change the settings of the cloud platform: now, when creating new virtual machines, backup copying will be enabled by default.
Previously, the company reported that it had managed to restore access to approximately 90% of customer information. For affected users, payment for Yandex Cloud and Yandex 360 services was also temporarily waived.
