OS Reload: Planned Downtime

I will take down all Web, database, and email services at 1000 CDT (1500 GMT) today. After that point, I will run one more backup on the server that will encompass everything done to that point. That should take a couple of hours to run, I’m guessing; it took three last night, but that was with services up and running. After that’s complete, all backups will be copied over to the Network Attached Storage at The Planet, and then I’ll have them do the reload of the operating system. Once their OS reload is complete and cPanel/WHM is set back up, I’ll restore from the backups and we’ll go forward. All told, we should be back up and running by, say, dinnertime.
