These past week has made us all realize how we missed our beloved NL when it was down and how addicted many of us were to NL. In fact one can consider NL to be Facebook/twitter etc with a 9ja flavour.
It is good to see that NL is back up and operating but obviously there has been a HUGE loss of data. I am however very hopeful that the recovery process is going on well as I know that this can take a long time as database rebuilding is a time consuming task I believe.
If NL is unable to recover all the data at a 100%, then in my opinion it's an utmost and complete failure on their storage strategies/operations . Given how cheap storage is and the abundance of options available in today's IT world, it would be a massive letdown if NL management/operations did not have a comprehensive backup plan in place. You should never rely on one single storage source in this type of business or else you risk having a single source of complete and catastrophic failure.
I anyway hope that they are in the process of a complete recovery and look forward to all the NL threads, member accounts, 'likes' etc being completely restored.

How long should it take to restore those data if they were truly backed up.

check wayback, should be there.

i don't think it should take more than a few days at most. I fear that there may be lost data as some users are even complaining that their previous accounts do not exist anymore - which is also a bad sign. Maybe be someone from NL can shed more light on the situation.

if you are trying to recover your data, google your thread title, check the cached copy, and then copy and paste the material on a blog .
