"Guys, I just had the scare of my life - my VPS crashed and took a 100GB PostgreSQL database with it. Luckily, I was able to recover 90% of it, but I had to pull out all the stops to do it. Time to share my 'harrowing adventure' with the group, has anyone else had a similar experience?"

"Wow, that's crazy! I once had a similar issue with my node's database, but luckily it was only 30GB of data. Glad you were able to recover your 100GB apocalypse, any tips for us noobs?"

"Dude, I feel ya. Had a similar issue with my node last month, lost like 3 hours of syncing data. Ended up using a snapshot from a few days prior, saved a ton of time and headache"

"Dude, I'm still shaking after hearing about your 100GB database apocalypse I've had my fair share of crashes, but 100GB, that's insane! How long did it take to recover, and what was the most crucial step in the process?"
