"The disaster scenario is that it takes 3 days to restart, having lost data", explains Franck Priolet, pending a response from OVH.
He is the co-founder of the e-commerce platform “Les beaux quarters”, specializing in the online sale of butcher's pieces.
Since the fire, his site has been unavailable: "If our back-ups (the backup servers that allow data to be recovered) are affected, yes, it will be very problematic for us", continues the company manager.
"We are afraid that these backups are in the same buildings ... because they, too, were at OVH".
