Update - The server in question is experiencing a significant number of hardware issues that are making recovery efforts challenging. The server was already planned for decommissioning, and a replacement server has been provisioned. However, a full restoration process will take quite some time to complete. In the meantime, we will prioritize restoring key folders and data that will provide the greatest impact to business operations and learning activities.
