Man, sorry to hear that. Was a pleasure routing with you. Hope to see you back soon.
What options are available to recover our nodes in the event of a hardware failure? Does anyone have a backup plan they are confident in?
I run my node on a VM (ubuntu/umbrel), hosted on server grade HP hardware. I run continuous backups at the hypervisor level that fire about every 5 minutes. I send duplicate copies of the hypervisor backups to separate NAS appliances. I also regularly do manual channel backups which I store offsite. All that and I'm still not 100% comfortable that I'd be covered in the event of failure. I mean, it's all probably overkill, but it'd be very disappointing if my node went offline and there was some sort of forced channel closure.
