But not today. We have a flaky drive on our file server in Texas. At some point tonight, we will be going down to install the replacement. The affected drive hosts 14GB of content, so the restoration process will probably take a little while. My bet is that we’ll lose some comments, too.<\/p>\n
The backup process has finished. I am going to have our datacenter move the old drive out and put a new one in so we can have the OS Reloaded, re-initialize the server, and then move your content back to the new drive. I will be updating this ticket at each step so you have an idea of how this is going. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to update this ticket or call our support line and request to speak to Nate C, I would be happy to explain anything that is going on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My apologies. We’ll be back soon.<\/p>\n
We’re back…<\/i><\/b> We seem to be about half-reasonable, but all the major systems are running properly. We lost comments between 1:40pm and 11:50 or so, MST. If you commented in that span of time, you’ll need to repost.<\/p>\n
Further notice…<\/i><\/b> There are lingering problems. The techs in Texas apparently restored the content of the new hard drive from some old backups – how this could happen while many other files are current I don’t know. But, for example, here at BHB we are running from two small bits of an antique sidebar, with no footer at all. Worse, I am unable to affect the issue by FTP. The weblog part of BHB should be fine, since it runs out of a MySQL server. But we won’t be finished until the sidebar looks normal again.<\/p>\n
Update…<\/i><\/b> We’re all the way back and all the way normal. If you post a comment yesterday between 1:30 and midnight MST and you don’t see it posted, you’ll need to post again. Otherwise, we’re golden.
