UPDATE, 6:32 PM: That was quick! The replacement was completed before we even had our original post up. All services are back up and running normally. ##
6:29 PM: Our shared hosting server ‘svensbluff’ has been taken temporarily offline to have its backup drive replaced. This is not an OS-critical drive, nor is it a drive serving live sites, so extended downtime and/or data loss is not a concern. However the drive was failing, and we do need it to run scheduled back-ups, so it is being replaced before it fails completely and creates a snafu.
This is a scheduled replacement, and will take 5-10 minutes total, at which time the server will come back up.
Client data and live websites will be completely unaffected by this drive replacement. Any mail queued on the ‘net will remain queued until the server comes back up, at which time it will deliver according to the schedule of the sending mail server. There should be very little interruption as the outage is so short.
Thank you very much for your continued business and support. If we may answer any questions for you, please feel free to open a ticket with us, the link to the support desk (which is UP!!) is below or at the right. :D
