Hi,
Post the contents of /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out when this happens.
]]>Dear Ziggy,
This ticket response is from WhyNotaVPS which is a budget VPS provider. The server you were on had hardware RAID1 and unfortunately both drives died at the same time. This is an extremely rare case but it happened and affected you.
At WhyNotaVPS prices the previous owner as well as Leapswitch do not find it financially viable to provide RAID as well as separate backups. To overcome such a failure we have converted your node to RAID10 and will try and convert all other nodes to RAID10 so that it allows for greater reliability (upto 2 drive failure) as well as performance.
We have worked out a compensation with affected clients. You can respond to your ticket for the same and someone from billing will work something out with you.
We sincerely apologize for this issue and will continue to improve our services so that this does not happen again.
Leapswitch Team

Hello,
Sorry to say you that 2 hdds in the server failed at the same time and so we are unable to restore the backup too, We have create a new vps for you where you can restore your backup.
