Restart a terminated server
I had a Trac instance up and running. I terminated it from the hub, but would now like to restart it. I did not have backup enabled, but I figured I would be able to restart with what was on that server at the time. Am I out of luck?

Reply 1Regular Amazon instances are backed by temporary storage...
Reply 2Terminating a regular Amazon instance is equivalent to blowing it up. They're backed by temporary storage. If you don't backup, your data is lost. OTOH, EBS-backed instances are more permanent. They're persistent and you can turn them and off just pay for the storage space while they're down. We're running a poll about that:
It sounds like the boot from EBS is not currently available. Are there instructions on manually changing that or on how to backup and restore from an EBS backup?
