At the same time, the remaining 2.84% of the data “cannot be restored due to critical equipment damage and the lack of backups on the platform for clients,” the company said on Tuesday.

The company noted that after the attacks, Yandex Cloud changed its approach to backups. Previously, you had to activate backup yourself. It is now enabled by default when creating new virtual machines. The service is available under the same conditions. Backups can be avoided, but they remain a basic way to reduce risk in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

It is also reported that engineers continue to distribute Yandex Cloud computing resources to new independent locations in different regions of the Russian Federation. The number of locations will continue to increase.

From October 8 to October 11, three Yandex data centers were damaged as a result of UAV attacks – in the city of Sasovo in the Ryazan region, Kaluga and Vladimir. According to Interfax, the work of the data centers in Sasovo and Vladimir was completely stopped; in Kaluga, several data center modules were disabled. As a result of the incidents, disruptions occurred in the operation of both Yandex services itself and other resources on the Runet. Previously, the company also reported that its supercomputers Chervonenkis, Galushkin and Lyapunov were not damaged during drone attacks.
