… and miles to go before I sleep.
I’m about, oh, 20% done with backups at this point. I’m making liberal use of my account on the Network Attached Storage drives at The Planet. The backups have to be done manually [which isn't much fun, I assure you], but they’re getting done at a reasonable pace. Server performance will undoubtedly be degraded as the backups are made: normally the backups are done between 0300-0530 Central, the slackest times in the standard server day. These backups are being done while site use is still up and non-negligible. I appreciate your continued patience; I’ve also run some hard drive analysis testing that I hope will shorten the downtime with the NOC.
Update: Here at 0020, I’m 75% complete, picking up mostly small accounts, and I’m leaving the big account—rocksmyfaceoff.net itself—to run while I’m asleep.
