We will be moved over to a new server (a very good thing, most likely the end of our sql problems) but it will also result in some loss of data, only new things such as posts. I expect the data between a period of about an hour before they move, as they will probably copy the stuff first which might take about an hour, then they will redirect the domain so we might loose a few posts and stuff, but in general we should not loose too much. I will be running backups continuously until it goes down, hopefully it will go down before my bed time though.

So just thought I'd let you all know so you know what the downtime will be for. It will be a good thing.

I just hope we don't end up on like server 2 or something. That's the server that goes down 100 times per month. Or is that 3 can't remember.

Ok, thanks. So it will be done tonight?

The move seems to be done and we did not loose anything.

A tracert still shows us as being on server 4 though.
