I just got this message for the last 10 minutes and wouldn't let me access the site <_<Code:Database Backup
Please wait a minute while our database backup is running. Once completed you will be able to access our boards again.
Page will try to refresh every 10 seconds.
it means it's backing up all the messages for archive
just read what it says :lol:
Ooh smart!! Let's see...
"Make me a coffee, with two sugars"
Hmm well I had to make my own it seems... waited damn near 10 minutes ;)
Cheers for your input Mr Bond.
We backup our database every x days to make sure that we have a working backup for the case that something happens (database crash etc)
This step takes around 2 - 3 minutes (800 MB backup). To make sure that the backup is not corrupt we disable board access.
If you backup while people browse or post it will backup a corrupt database which means that it cannot be restored.
7th, have you considered a detachable software raid system?
Effectively, what this means is that you create a mirror of the live system. This takes a few minutes to generate, but is updated at the same time so by the time it has finished they are identical (and both being updated).
You then take a checkpoint and detach the mirror. If this is scripted, is takes less than a second during which time the system is unavailable. Now you can make a backup of the mirror, which is not corrupt.
Of course, depending on the underlying system you can get this sort of software for nothing or it can cost you a small fortune.
