Planned Downtime
There will be downtime this weekend while I back up everything on the server in preparation for an operating system reload. As you’re probably aware, we had a server exploit with a spammer that’s caused some significant downtime this week. This, combined with some filesystem issues, has caused me to move towards an OS reload.
I will disable services on the server prior to the backups, and we’ll restore from the backups.
Please check here for further updates, including an announcement on time. I was planning for 6:00 p.m. Central tonight, but at present, the datacenter’s NAS backup solution is still offline, so I’m not going to do anything until then.
