Texas storm disaster preparedness

[Red Squirrel]

For those who are not aware there is a huge hurricane heading for Texas where our server is located. Some parts of Texas have already been hit very hard.

In order to prepare for any possible disaster, offsite backup jobs have been set to every hour. Should any downtime occur due to server damage once everything is back up there should be minimal loss of data.

There is a possibility of some world saves being skipped due to the backup job that moves the data to prepare for the offsite job, do not be alarmed if you get "Save skipped" messages.

Hopefully this wont cause any lag. We can afford the bandwidth usage increase this will cause, so it should not be a problem.

The storm seems to have passed so backups have resumed to be daily instead of hourly. My feelings go out to those who have been affected by the storm. Must really be hard to deal with loss of everything and possibly friends.
