On-Rev server Pancake problems - old backup restored?

[Alex Shaw]

Hi

I wanted to keep this off the mailing list but I'm still have no email 
capacity or website.. and no answers from on-rev support.

Getting a bit anxious so hopefully someone has their service going and 
can answer a few questions.

As far as I know Pancake has been migrated to Jasmine.

I've changed servers in my email client to Jasmine to receive the years 
worth of email that went missing (minus a day or two). Still can't 
receive or send yet.

Currently the affected domain name is still pointing to Pancake so 
hopefully it's just waiting until that DNS issue propagation finishes.

But I have asked whether I need to make changes to my domain's 
nameservers, which are pointing to ns1.on-rev.com & ns2.on-rev.com.

If anyone is back online, besides email server changes did you need to 
do anything else?

regards
alex

Please be assured we have a very recent backup of accounts which is what we are using for the restoration, I do not recommend you spend effort in restoring your account yourself at this time.
