4 Jan 2008 Downtime for Primary Hard Drive Replacement
Well, the primary hard drive is currently scheduled to be replaced at 0200 CST tonight. I’ll have another round of backups done to preserve state this evening, in addition to Tuesday night’s backups which have been loaded to the new secondary drive today.
Again, all hostees are strongly encouraged to make their own backups in cPanel. You can accomplish this by going into cPanel, selecting Backups, and generating a full backup. Enter your email address, and you’ll get an email when the backup’s generation has been completed. Once that’s complete, you’ll want to log in via FTP and download the backup directly; you’ll be given the option to save it over the Web, but most of these are so large that you’ll need to use FTP to ensure that you get a full download. My attempts to do Web-based downloads last night timed out.
