I have also lost a few relay in the past due to failed backup of keys. Maybe there should be a general guidance in docs asking relay operator to backup the keys, essential in case your server is suspended/drive fail/other reasons.

Hey,
OVH deleted the vps due to an error. I will need to start a new relay, but is it possible to configure with the original fingerprint as I have it written here? Thanks.
