catastrophic raid failure
Catastrophic RAID failure means your ultra-secret data saw the attack helicopters over the horizon and locked itself in the impenetrable underground bunker and detonated landmines and deployed automated weaponry all around the base. Enemy forces were wiped out in their entirety.
The good news is that your data is secure and bravely refused to allow itself to be compromised. Bad news is that I don't think your data is ever coming out of there again.

Hello,
Unfortunately earlier today the host that your VPS resides on had suffered a catastrophic RAID failure and was irrecoverable. We had attempted to restore the data but were unsuccessful. We have since created a new container and emailed you the new login information. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
