The whole db cant be more than a couple of GB in size, since its a young and small exchange. I doubt its hard or expensive to make a daily backup. Byron could also setup a master/slave db system to avoid such problems in the future.

I believe Byron said 160Gig. But he is busy fixing things not reading here.

Sure there are lessons to be learned here. But can we try to focus on the positives.
No wallets have been compromised, No coins have been lost, Byron is currently bringing back the exchange to a working state, NOT claiming to have been hacked and running off with you coins.

you backup to external servers dude.......
he did, just not daily, due to bandwidth restraints.
Maybe you can explain what bandwidth restraints have to do with it?
It doesn't take a month to transfer a backup, does it? That'd be 61 kBps....
Why can't backups be continuous?
Normally with hosting plans you are only allowed to transfer so much data per month. I can't speak to the terms of his plan but that external backup traffic would count against his overall cap on bandwith transfer for the month.
registered on the 12th, so I guess I need to re-register again *sigh*
I have a few questions though, please bare with me... my knowledge maybe a few years outdated
the last time I actively do programming & technical stuff was about 10 years ago
for the offsite backup & bandwidth constraints... isn't there a way to do incremental backup system
in a way that you don't have to actually backup the whole things & only the diff since last backup

Daily backups resided on one of the afflicted VHD's while monthly offsite backups are still available.
I'm not sure how VHD works, but shouldn't the daily backup be saved on separate location?for the offsite backup & bandwidth constraints... isn't there a way to do incremental backup system

he did, just not daily, due to bandwidth restraints. however i do agree it should have been more often than monthly... hopefully everything gets straightened out soon and the new server setup is way better
of course in hindsight it is easy to say things could have been backed up better, but who expects their cloud provider to delete all your data including your daily backups on all 6 (maybe more?) redundancies which are geographically distributed?

Dont rush getting the new stuff running.
This is the part where our bet on Byron is proven wise.
People complaining about 0.04 btc temporarily inaccessible are petty, and I'm not even rich! Crypto is not for you.
Muah all

No kidding!

I just logged onto my AT account for the first time since Friday evening. What a weekend you've been having, ByronP! I'm so sorry 
It looks like you are on the right track in solving it--building a script to rebuild everyone's balances using the block chain data. One update that will be very helpful (both here and on Twitter) is an ETA on when that process will be complete. Then we can know what to expect.
The main thing I've been doing over the past two weeks is chatting, so accumulating ATP, and collecting the tiny payments from my ATP holdings (which are not super significant). I don't know if you have a way to restore ATP balances or not. A few days ago, someone in chat tipped me 0.009 ATP, so it's a bummer to "lose" that. I know, not much in the grand scheme of things, but it was my very first tip here.
And whatever else happens, I would encourage backups that are more than monthly. I think several times a day is a minimum, considering how much coins move around--it is an exchange. But that's for the future.
Anyway, my two cents. Hope it helps. Really sorry this happened to you (and to us).

I think you need to create a new account. The database backup seems to be from the 6th. From Byron, above:
Are you serious? D:I just registered less than a week ago and transfered some btc to make some trades... What can I do now? Registering again? (I tried and couldn't) I can find the blockchain, but this kind of things shouldn't happen :S.
ATP (and CCS) balances can be recovered too? I mean, if not, ppl cannot prove ATP rewards that claimed....

Please take note guys, no coins have been lost. All wallets are safe as far is byron is saying.
Site is back up deposits/withdrawals/trades/... are locked while balance records are rebuilt.
