Popular Post Saru Posted April 7, 2017 Popular Post #1 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Our server host has unexpectedly expedited an upcoming transfer to a new datacenter which means there may be some disruption and downtime within the next few days/hours. It is possible that a small amount of forum data will be lost ( probably amounting to only a few hours ). I am waiting on more details and will update this thread when I know more. Update Unfortunately I haven't been given any specifics with regard to the server transfer schedule and due to the possible delay between transferring the data and actually finalizing the move, there could be some data loss. Ultimately this means that all the posts/changes made to the forum during this process might be lost. Normally if we were transferring servers steps would be taken to avoid this, but because it's being done by the host themselves we can't synchronise one step of the process with the other - it's up to them how and when it happens. All I can say for certain right now is that it hasn't started yet, but beyond that I don't know. It's possible there won't be any data loss at all - we'll have to see how it goes. Update The final move to the new datacenter will take place on Monday morning. Update #2 Our host has confirmed that there shouldn't be any data loss. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted April 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So just a small glitch in the space/time continuum then. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harte Posted April 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Then I'll take pains not to post any of my fascinating analysis and memorably witty ripostes until you tell us the transfer is finished. Any more of those, that is. Harte 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted April 10, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Update The forum is finally back up after the server move - there were problems synchronizing all the data for the forum however I think everything has been recovered now without any data loss. Let me know if you encounter any bugs or technical issues. Apologies for the disruption. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
