Title: BBS is back
Post by: Pyro on April 03, 2013, 01:57:59 PM
We had a double failure occur with a hard drive and our backup system.  We had to do a hard drive recovery and that has taken longer than expected.  Sorry for the inconvenience of the board being down this long and thanks for your patience.  We should be back to normal now.

The "Bruv weight mod" thing I posted was a joke based on all the crap Bruv gets for having skills to pay the bills.

hehe, you should've seen what ended up on my YouTube channel  :noid

here is a small sample

bmw87us 6 days ago

'Everyone who plays AH can thank The Few squad for crashing the forum! Perhaps HTC will pay more attention to thse clowns and stop rewarding them with file mods. The crashed the server because other players were getting more attention then they were on the forums and other squads. I hope the entire clown troops gets banned.'

:D

'And look at the graphics. Amazing. My graphics look nothing like this. In fact they haven't changed in 4 years. I guess special customers get special graphics? Garbage. No plane wobble either I see when you hit the rudder. My plane shakes all over the place when I pull the trigger or touch the rudder. Amazing. This game was so much more fun 10 years ago. '

Server Backup Procedure:
1. Hot Backup Image to 2nd Drive in Same Server every night.  (In case you just need a quick restore, or to get at a file that was accidentally deleted or version changed). 
2. Daily Backup to External Drive (Rolling Daily Backups kept so that you have a daily image from every day for the last week).
3. Upload Daily Backup Images to Cloud Storage for Disaster Recovery. (Because all drives fail eventually, and the office may burn to the ground at any time).
4. Weekly Hot Backup Image to 2nd Drive in Same Server every Sunday.  (Because I am paranoid).
5. Weekly Backup Image to External Drive (Because I am paranoid).
6. Weekly Backup Image to Cloud Storage (Because I am really very paranoid).

I may be paranoid, but I don't lose data, and my servers stay up.
