SAUK Outage Jan 2012
Welcome back, everyone
As you should be aware by now, our hosting company, A Small Orange, suffered a major hardware failure across their cloud hosting platform last Friday. SAUK was unreachable as a direct result. We were told originally that they would be unable to recover any of our data. I then spent the weekend working on getting a brand new server up and running, with the intention of getting the site back online with the most recent backup that we had access to at that time (from the 14th January 2012). This came online briefly on Monday evening. Just after I got the site back online, ASO got in touch to let us know that they had been able to recover our data, and were in a position to recreate our old server environment on our new one. We have then had to wait for them to do just that, and that's why the board did not reappear until this morning. Everything should be working as it was before the recent downtime, but there will likely be a few bits and pieces that will need tweaking. The board may have to close intermittently for a short while over the next few days if stuff needs doing. If you do happen to experience any problems using the board over the next few days or so, please post something here or send me a PM so I can take a look at your issue ASAP. PS: Some info from ASO, for the techies... Quote:

Many thanks for Anne's and your hard work in getting it back online quickly with no data loss?! You must run back ups quite regularly as the site went down about 15 mins after I posted my last message which is still there or is it some automated web server mirroring system you use?
Anyway kudos Mr Occultus! |

Thanks for all of your efforts. When I first noticed the site being down I feared that it had been closed. Glad to know that I was wrong.
