Atlassian: We estimate the rebuilding effort to last for up to 2 more weeks
So, let me get this straight:<p>* It's been deleted for a week already, they estimate they might need two more weeks. Three in total.<p>* They claim to have "extensive backups", and hundreds of engineers working on it.<p>What? How? This simply doesn't go together. Why would restoring from backup take three weeks?<p>Either their backups aren't complete, or they need new software written for the restore, or something else doesn't add up.<p>I haven't administered their software yet, but what I've learned from the sidelines, at least Jira doesn't seem to be rocket science. A database, an application server (maybe a few instances for larger sites), a bit of config, some caches. This <i>really</i> shouldn't take three weeks to restore.
