Which server provider was that ? Just asking. This was really rackless to happen. Because i know i used to use the dedicated servers upto 60gb rams and they goes offline for a minute whole team stops working and even links stops working a lot of tracking tools were going on with that. Contabo teaches us lesson really soon when we have to wait for their support to come online for 6 hours even though their telephonic support was there but they weren't able to do anything.
Then we decided to use a lot of domains and then putting them seperately on a lot of small servers usually 4 gb or cloud servers. It helped a lot but things weren't actually bulletproof.
As of now may i ask how many websites were there ? on one single server ?

I am using Hetzner as my server provider from many years. Server model is AX41-NVME, its have 6 cores (12 threads) Amd ryzen CPU, 64GB Ram and 2 512GB NVME M2 disk. I hosted around 12-13 live sites here and performance was very good. But today this disaster happened.

You didn't lose anything. Worst case scenario you need to build the sites up again which isn't that hard if waybackmachine has the captures.
Since you have the domains means there will be no lost SEO juice, but google can be tricky and it will throw you around a lot once the sites are reindexed.

Use waybackmachine to find version of your site you want, then HTTrack it. Go to folder where you copied the site and then navigate to :
\web.archive.org\web\20220712045529\https_\YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME\index.html
(That number may differ, if its not in that folder delete all folders with archive or webarchive in name until you get this message HERE when you open index.html in root folder.
That will give you exact location of your main index.html, you need to restore those folders back after that !!)
Open it with text editor and delete everything between those two tags:
<!-- BEGIN WAYBACK TOOLBAR INSERT -->
<!-- END WAYBACK TOOLBAR INSERT -->
\web.archive.org\web\20220712045529\https_\YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME\index.html

Sorry man. Take note of your URLs exactly as they are as it'll be key for you.

If he acts fast and maintain same URLs he won't experience much issue if any. But redirecting might throw him around

I lost a whole computer some time ago. Literally I lost it in the wild.
I didn't backup to any server before I was thrown out of an apartment along with my things including my computer and the computer was stolen when I was moving.
Happily it was mostly some prototypal work which wasn't really production ready, but still, it could be a lot.

So sorry to hear this. I couldn’t imagine losing more than 10 of my money sites. Such a huge disaster. But you did it once, you can do it again man. Hope you quickly recover from this.
For those who run self hosted sites with servers, try the combination of Rclone + cronjob script for a simple, efficient automatic cloud backup solution.

Sorry to hear that it happened, but we learn from our mistakes. When I started out, my site was hacked, and after that, all my data was deleted by a hosting provider here. From that moment, I have started using backup plugins for all my sites and set up an automatic backup on my Google Drive. Sadly, there's no way to recover everything, but you can get the articles by checking Google Cache or other tools mentioned in the earlier posts.

Yes I was using unmanaged dedicated server, actually I using dedicated from many years, I never faced any issues before.
I able to recover 2 sites from webarchive but other sites are completely gone.
