The big lesson here is never to rely on a single provider.
About 30% of the VMs were total write-offs. They stopped posting the specifics on vaserv.com a few days ago; but it looked like out of 180 servers, at least 60 were destroyed completely.

And yes, a single provider is a bad move, especially for a backup routine.
