Sunday, 31 May 2009Early yesterday morning, our server had a failure. The cause is unknown, but we could not bring it back remotely.

Rather than waiting a few days to gain access, BuZz decided to purchase a replacement machine that could be activated remotely and used right away. After copying back ~37gb of data, most hosted sites are now running, but some services may be unavailable or unstable for the next day or two. There may be up to one days data loss, from when the database was last backed up off site. We might consider real-time database replication to further minimise data loss in the future.

Remember folks, always make backups :)
