I make bi-weekly backups of the data anyway, but even losting two weeks of forums posts, etc, would really piss me off. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=24&threadid=1345 2007-06-29T15:03:59 -05.00 Dain 5 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=24&threadid=1345 2007-06-29T15:02:49 -05.00 Dain 5

A few days ago, I made a post about the company I work for allowing me to host the site on their nicer servers. Well, that was planned for July 5th, but the powers that be decided the old server was allowed finally to die. So it did, but not without a fight.

The problems, come to find out, with the old server were hardware related. The primary drive was starting to fail and luckily our site was on the secondary drive. It literally stopped booting altogether, so I yanked the drive out, backed up the data and then got our new server ready.

The reason it took 3 days to come back up is that I wasn't able to use FTP to transfer the 10+ GB of data. I had to use a VPN connection, which was painfully slow. That, and the software needed for the site (CFMX 7.02) wasn't installed, the IIS wasn't enabled, and so I had to dink around with the security policies a bit.

At any rate, good to be back!
