Archive Page Broken

[Daynor King]

Regional dumps appear to be there through July 02.

National dumps aren't showing up at all for me.

The old "other" link provides the following error message for me: "System Error (eval) at Thu Jul 5 08:30:26 2018."

EDIT: Suppose this would help: https://www.nationstates.net/page=archive

Any update about what's going on? I was hoping to use some old info that should be stored there.

By the way, the region links don't actually cause the file to download on my browser, it just redirects to my nation.

No admins have been available since you first posted, and nobody else has either access or skills to fix it. Don't bump this more often than every week or three. Somebody will fix it eventually.

Bumping up this since it's been gone for two weeks now.

The error has changed, and now everything is gone:

NS Archive is not enabled on this server.

This is a known hardware issue. We had a disk failure. Admin is investigating the situation.

I do have dumps since May 17 saved (I have a script on my VPS that pulls the daily dump). If somebody needs them before the archive page is back up, just let me know.

It's been another three months now, and the archives are still down. Any update?

We lost all data stored on a backup disk due to hardware failure, and this included the daily dumps in NS Archive. I've restored NS Archive's ability to store daily dumps going forward, but I don't have a second copy of the old ones. If someone who does have them wants to generously upload them somewhere, I can copy them back over.

I have a near-complete daily dump set going as far back as 2013. Last time I tried sharing them through Amazon S3 (where they are stored), it turned out to be a pain in the ass. I'll try to put a copy in Dropbox and link it here tonight or tomorrow.

Well, the machines are gonna go “phew!”

I question if all of them were lost:

• https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.nationstates.net/archive/nations/*
• https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.nationstates.net/archive/regions/*

Guidance: it may take some time for it to load.

I already sent these to Elu, but here are the Dropbox copies in case others are interested in them:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c72j1fisz0kdj ... p.zip?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qggw4p1jt1v9l ... p.zip?dl=0

They go as far back as late 2012. Note that both sets contain a few invalid files (my script creates a file even if it couldn't download anything from NS). You can tell the invalid from the valid ones by looking at file sizes - the invalid files are near empty.

Apologies for the gravediggy bump - Can these be copied back over to the Archive page still?

Someone reminded me about this, so here is a small update on my end, given that the files are not yet on the NS archive page.

If you want to download individual files from my archive, and don't want to either use the S3 API, or download the massive dropbox zip files, you can access them from here:

https://nationstates.s3.amazonaws.com/n ... index.html
https://nationstates.s3.amazonaws.com/r ... index.html

or here:

r3n! You hero! I just learned that I was founded in The Pacific back in 2012. I thought this information was hopelessly lost.
