Yandex Cloud loses 3% of data in Ukraine drone strikes, defaults to backups

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Yandex Cloud, often referred to as Russia's Google, has reported that approximately 2.84% of its customer data was unrecoverable following drone strikes in Ukraine. The company attributes this loss partly to a lack of user backups, though it notes that customers utilizing Yandex Cloud's backup tools did not experience data loss. In response, Yandex Cloud has implemented a default backup policy for all newly created virtual machines and is opening a new availability zone to enhance disaster resilience. AI
