Update - The restoration of all files, folders, and network drive access was successfully completed over the weekend. All network drives and associated shared folders have been restored, and the original server name and file paths remain unchanged. We recommend restarting your computer to ensure network drives remap correctly. The affected storage server has been replaced with a new server that includes additional redundancy features to improve reliability and resiliency. We will continue monitoring the server and related support activity and, if no further issues arise, anticipate closing out this incident later today or tomorrow.
