We will be having a several hours long outage tomorrow for a full database backup. Exact time and duration to be determined.

Expect "No Schedulers Responded" and no work.

---

Bump - could happen soon...

Full backup, so the message boards will be down too?

(Otherwise I'd start a book on how long befor the first "I can't Upload/Download" post comes in ;) )

---

Back up to the top again!

I've got a few days stashed just in case.. lol...

---

Would it be stating the bl**ding obvious if I say:

SETI/BOINC host is Back Up

... even uploading work already....

---

this was a short outtage

all is working here in good conditions :)

Unable to return results or get a response from the Scheduler at the moment.
Looks like the usual post outage traffic jam again.


EDIT- 3rd attempt got a response from the scheduler, 1 result returned. Rest timing out & unable to download new work units.

Yep, since then it's returned another result & downloaded 2 more Work Units to process. Rets still timing out.
I've got enough work for a couple of days, but i like to return results twice a day so those that live for the credits don't stress out & foam at the mouth while wating for a quorum to get their credits granted...

Will try again tonight after work.

Since you can't read this when the site is/was down why make this thread a sticky?

Hmmm... I wonder why they've removed the message from the news page? They did the same two days ago also. There was an outage announced on Apr 20th, which was removed from the news after a short time.

Can upload also know ;)

So.. why are they backing up (again), I mean they already backed up a short time ago...

---

The outage on Apr 20th was about server update, they said. But I haven't seen any change in the Server Status page afterwards, so I guess they changed their mind. However, I wish they'd stop removing the messages from the news page. It's annoying...

I found it in the buffer of my RSS-feed program, from Wed 8.17 pm: "We are having a short data server outage in order to bring more storage online."

Note the word "Full" system back up. i'd assume this would be different from the other kind

Better late than never? :-)

Actually, I made it sticky for a few reasons:

<li>People may have noticed the outage and be tempted to start a thread asking why</li>
<li>The news item is gone from the front page</li>
<li>I thought maybe I'd get to test out ordered list usage in the forums</li>

Good for you Rob, and good for Berkeley. They managed to find a backup option that lasted no longer than 4 hours. Or so the forums looked like when I got back. ;)
