Good news - the correct volume is back and forum online.
Data loss - for approx 12-14hrs (0100-1500 UTC) any images uploaded to the
forum are "in-hand" but not correctly indexed. I will attempt to restore
them later today.

Hi all -
... now a failed volume mount at Digital Ocean during the upgrade. The
first 2 items were worked around OK but the volume mount problem has
caused us to lose all uploaded data like posted images and forum
decorations and customizations.
There is a possibility of recovering our lost data from DO which I am
working on currently. In the meantime, the forum is offline while we try
to retrieve the data. The most painful part of this process is that the
forum backups were on the missing volume. ...
This sounds much too much like the loss of the original OpenWrt forum in May
2018. Then the reason was "no backups" combined to hardware failure, so much
worse than now. But still the current situation sounds a bit risky if all
backups are on a single volume at one storage provider.
I wonder if the backup could be more redundant (e.g. copied once per
month/quarter to another storage), or physically backuped (to blu-ray ?) once
per quarter/year or something like that.
I have no idea about the total data volume of the forum data, so no real
grasp of the feasibility of the various possibilities.
And of course this raises also similar questions about the reducdancy of wiki
and mailing list backups (if there are backups...).
