Guys, I’ve been talking totally frustrated! I recently decided to migrate my clients to Digital Ocean. This week I’m gradually migrating all accounts. However, something very annoying happened and DO just does not answer me any more. They responded only once with a totally out-of-context response.
I follow these steps in migration.
After the migration I intended to download the files from the volume and destroy it. It turns out that to my surprise, during the incident “129x6k9l8b0m” my droplet had deleted files. I lost tens of GB of data. To be honest I fuck#$ beautifully, I’m trying to reduce the crap, making new backups of the imported accounts. Only the first files saved on the volume, the files saved later were lost.
But what do I do? You do not have a phone to call. They do not answer my ticket, they do not talk if they can recover the data, nor do they talk about what happened! Could do refund too!
I send the server history, showing the commands that moved the backup to the volume, and NO command was executed to delete volume data.
I’m very worried about leaving my clients staying here! Have you ever had this problem? Because I lost confidence in the company = /
If someone from DO support read this and help me out I’m really grateful.

Is this still a problem going into 2019 ? Im scared because I have never heard of such happening with Google Cloud or AWS lightsail. Is this something that was unique at the time or continues to happen for users? Losing their data or droplet/s.
same too
that’s really scary and surprising nobody from digital ocean dare reply such a post
Now I’m in the same situation, on Wednesday we had a volume attached to a dropplet, today this volume dissapear literally. The support responds quickly but they only check the same console that I have access as a client. I checked the command history and NO command to unmount o destroy the volume.
