221927 - Tinderbox test history lost for most tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

It looks like the tinderbox move lost the test data for all tests prior to the
move.  this makes it very difficult to evaluate the current state of some of
those tests (eg Z and mZ) and also makes it very difficult to correlate checkins
with their performance effects.

Hopefully the test data has been backed up somewhere and can be restored...

what file names are we looking for? those files are hopefully still
on the old server but the old server is powered down at the moment
and will take some work to get it back up with a temporary network
connection.

I have no idea.  I have and had no access to the back end, just the tinderbox
front end that shows the nice graphs...

these things that you're looking for exist for new builds, right? what are some
example urls?

Interestingly, the graphs for the Tp test show all the old data; only the Z, mZ,
Ts, and Txul tests are affected....
