I recently suffered an attack on my Debian 7 (Wheezy) server at ovh, I received this email:
`Good morning,
Your VPS has just been started in ‘Rescue’ mode; this
means that a Linux operating system other than yours is
running on your VPS (the machine was booted via netboot).
This is not about the system that is currently installed on your “disk”.
- The file root of your VPS is mounted at ‘/mnt’.
You can connect via SSH to your VPS with the following
parameters:
You can now carry out the necessary maintenance operations on the
restore your VPS. As an example you can:
- check and possibly deactivate your firewall,
- make a backup or restore your data,
- check and update network configuration files,
- etc.
If you think you have identified the source of the problem and want to restart
your VPS normally, you must configure the ‘netboot’ of your VPS
with the hard disk option (normal mode).`
I would like to reactivate normal boot to backup my sql but I have no idea how you should configure the 'netboot' of your VPS with the hard disk option (normal mode)
Can anyone give me at least a path on how to start with this?
I tried to save the data in the mysql folder but as it is a very old version I am having difficulty importing the data into a new instance, the best way I believe would be to reactivate my vps on ovh
this is “/”
this is /mnt content
I really have very little knowledge in infrastructure and Linux to solve this and unfortunately I’m about to lose all my data because I don’t have a backup, I tried to ask ovh to reconnect the server but they insist on me doing it myself
