«Yandex» said it cannot restore 2.84% of customer data in Yandex Cloud after attacks on data centers

The Yandex press service said that the remaining 2.84% cannot be restored due to critical hardware damage and the absence of backups on the platform from customers, Meduza writes.

According to the company, after the attacks on the data centers, engineers restored access to 97.16% of customer data in Yandex Cloud. Customers who used Yandex Cloud backup tools did not experience data loss — all 100% were preserved.

In October, Ukraine began striking Yandex data centers. Over the course of a week, Ukrainian drones attacked three of the company’s six data centers — in Sasovo, Ryazan Oblast, Kaluga, and Vladimir.

Kommersant wrote, citing experts’ estimates, that replacing damaged equipment in Yandex’s data centers would take about six months. After the attacks, the company moved all three of its supercomputers to a new location and withdrew its annual revenue forecast.
