    I fixed the time drift on backups.

    It's happening at 4am on the button now.

    Don't Panic.

    (Sorry!)

    Cheers for the heads up CuLT, I noticed it has been drifting a bit over the last couple of weeks which has resulted in major confusion on when I should go and make my nightly coco pops :)

    Thanks for the heads up, it was confusing me!

    Cult, How would you feel about moving the nighly Back-ups to 4pm??? I think that would work in everyones favour.

    We should all head over to boards.tv for the nightly backup in future!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,856 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    That explains a lot.

    Agreed! Do they have the Big Bang Theory over there? I love that show!

    Is it really bad that I don't have a clue what he's talking about?! :confused:



    Or what any of you are talking about for that matter! :o

    ha boards goes down for about 20mins every night to backup the database (i think :confused:), so now it'll go down at 4 every night instead of some random time like it was lately!

    i don't know really, ask CuLT, but either way boards goes offline every night and now it'll go offline at 4!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    oh, cool, that should be good... although im kinda glad im not living in ireland any more... at least, come 3am, i had that opportunity to go to bed before it was too late... im pretty sure, that at 4am... it's too late...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,066 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    That's grand, i'm usually up late but not as late as 4am so it wont impact on me now :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I'm guessing back up time is exempt from the challenge??

    Quite correct.

    Although plans to completey remove the backup downtime are in motion. Might be a while before it happens though :)

    Laff, I hear about the nocturnal forum all the time these days, this new batch of Rec forums like TLL, BGRH and now Nocturnals nipping at the heels have quite a following.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe

    People keep telling me that. "Mytsery people are talking about the nocturnal forum."

    Turning me into a right proper nocturnal paranoid nut!

    uhm, sure you removed the 3am backup script? Because boards' been tending to experience downtime at 3am too..

    Has anyone left a feedback thread for cult about the 3am downtime?

    I don't think there's a feedback thread but CuLT knows about it anyway. Explained it all to me last night but it was all nerd gibberish to me. Something about a server doing it's own back up that needs to be fixed or something.

    Or something.

    Does that mean there is 2 backups?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,575 ✭✭✭✭Steve


    There are 2 somethings - don't know what the 1st one is.

    FWIW, I just asked the question in development here.

    Well he definitely knows about it anyway, he just has to go back to work after the bank holiday before being able to do anything major about it. Poor guy needs a weekend too! :P

    And sure it's only a bit of downtime, it's good for us in some way i'm sure!
