Luckily the thread shows user Bleemboy recovered everything!

1st step - Make a backup of this erased "backup machine" drives with dd comand.


2nd step - Use testdisk to recover files.
So lets say you want to recover 1TB, You will need extra 2TB, 1TB for backup (1st step) plus 1TB for recovery (2nd step).

But it's a good things to remember how your backup are made!
And if your hosting company provide or not.

I provide backup with 3 month history on every server ;-)

OMG, this sounds awful! He's got loads of people saying that he should have extra security involved, which I agree! How could a simple command delete everything, including his backups & other peoples servers!

Wow, what a mess!

Pretty sure it is a hoax...
