Hi,
I had a project running named algo-news. I can still login and "become" algo-news, but all my files seem to have disappeared. There was a Python app in ~/www/python/src/ as suggested by the docs, but not any more. Any idea what happend? And how can I prevent this in the future?
Best, Fako

Please use the labs-l mailing list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l) for questions regarding Labs or Tools.
There are no user-accessible backups (cf. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs#Backups); please file a Phabricator task or ask in #wikimedia-labs if there is a snapshot containing your files.
I personally (try to) guard against inadvertent deletions by putting everything (except passwords) in a Git repository that is hosted on another machine. That way in the worst case I only lose uncommitted changes, and as I was actively working on those I should have a fairly good memory of them.

As your public_html is from 19 June, this might be related to the file system corruption/NFS outage we had back then. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.labs/3822 for more information; I'm not sure if the copy of the crashed filesystem is still available; in any case, recovery will need some manual intervention. Please create a Phabricator ticket if you need this.
