Board Outage and Recovery

The system failed around 3:23 pm (Pacific time) on Friday, November 21. Efforts to recover the database were not successful, and the board was restored from a backup taken around 1 am Pacific time on Friday.

Posts made during that period of about 14-1/2 hours are permanently lost, as are any personal messages sent during that time. Personal messages that were sent before the backup which you read on Friday will appear "new" and you will likely read them again as "new."

:lol: Ain't that the truth!

Scott--thanks for all the hard work and time you put into the board--and not just in the last few days, but every day. It means so much to so many and has helped countless people over the years.

Have a great Thanksgiving :D

Backups are a very good thing! After being up over 5 years this is the longest down time we've had-- 1.5 days, and the most data we've ever lost--about 1/2 day. Anyway, I hope the issues don't come back!

Take care,

Scott

Thanks for all your hard work Scott- you must have been pulling your hair out. You must have been trying to add emoticons and the board couldn't take it :P

Nice recovery, you are king for being vigilante about backups. =)

What's weird, is ibsgroup.org went down about the same time, except they lost about 5 months of data. I guess just coincidental, but it was odd, the only two boards I've been reading both go down, doh.

I'm glad you got it back up though, really good work. Backups are not always easy to keep up with, especially for a forum this big and busy!

I read this board too and thought it was very coincidental. They have pretty close the same format too! I'm also glad that we're back up!

Yes, unless they run off the same hard drive, I doubt it was the same issue, who knows though.

This is a coincidence. There is no connection between us and Open Original Shared Link

It looks like they had it a lot worse than we did. We lost 14-1/2 hours of data. It sounds like they lost 8 months of data. Speaks loudly to the importance of doing regular backups.

Yes, from what I understand they had been depending on their host to do it. That's a sticky situation, because if they don't, you really have no recourse, i mean, in that you can't get the data back. But, looks like you guys do an excellent job of it.

      How to keep water down?

      Prolonged dehydration can cause kidney damage. How long has this been going on? Are you have diarrhea also? That's what the dyclomine is for I think.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
