Unexpected outage

While attempting to correct an issue where 3 users' logs were not being generated, errors were introduced that cause IRC873 to become unstable. In the interest of restoring service as quickly as possible, the Virtual Machine is being rolled back to the last backup state. The current state is also being imaged to facilitate fetching logs from 10/18, if required.

To be clear, logs from 10/18 will disappear from the client. I apologize for any inconvenience this creates.

1. 0320 CDT --> The snapshot of current state completed. Added to protected storage. Roll back to 2022-10-18 @ 0505 UTC image started.
2. 0400 CDT --> The rollback is proceeding and is 50% complete. This is a full harddrive re-write so progress is slow. Thanks for your patience!
3. 0440 CDT --> The rollback has been completed. Vetting in offline mode before returning to production.
4. 0450 CDT --> IRC873 restarted. Monitoring....

Outage resolved

The rollback was successful. A result was the loss of 24hours worth of IRC logs in the live client. However, if crucial data was lost, the old state was saved and the log items can be extracted. Contact Operator873 if needed.
