Yandex loses customer data following drone strikes, opens new availability zones
Yandex says nearly 3% of customer data is unrecoverable following Ukrainian drone strikes on its data centers. The company has updated its backup policies and opened a new availability zone to improve disaster resilience.
Yandex has reported that critical equipment damage from ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes has left about 2.84% of customer data permanently lost. The firm noted that users who utilized Yandex Cloud backup tools avoided data loss, while unrecoverable losses were partly attributed to a lack of individual customer backups. In response to the incidents, Yandex has enabled backup functions by default for all new virtual machines in Yandex Cloud. Additionally, the company has opened a new availability zone, designated as ru-central1-f, to enhance fault tolerance and disaster resilience across its infrastructure.
