conham50 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just to let all SMAXOC members know that there is a problem at the data centre where the servers are based. HP are on site and are trying to restore the SAN which is the source of the problem. Fingers crossed for better news today.conham50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunne1rat Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I know Paul keeps a backup of the site, but its not good news for the new server if all the site data is lost after just a few days. Fingers crossed for a safe recovery. Anyone for a poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunne1rat Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 No new news today yet. This is obviously turning out to be a lot more serious than first thought. Is this the final nail in the coffin for SMOC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetheref Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 No new news today yet. This is obviously turning out to be a lot more serious than first thought.

tunne1rat Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Were there other 'nails' then? As you may recall, the server crashed and burned in 2008. It was rebuilt from scratch and has been running sort of ok, until a few weeks ago the owner changed servers and updated the forum software. This has left the site in a 'broken' and 'unfinished' state with many featuers no longer working correctly. Now we hear that this recent downtime is caused by the storage area network (SAN), it could mean that if not sucessfully recovered, it's goodbye SMOC (again). I am sure it won't come to that as admins have their own personal backup of the site. edit: SMOC is now back up and running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 been there and done that years ago, lost data in the past. We have more than one back up contingency. We run 4 types of back ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunne1rat Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I was thinking of paying my tenner to join too. Phew It's been a while since my last post so I thought I would give you guys a bit of an update with regards to the Smax owners club. As most of you know, it has had a few problems since it moved servers and upgraded the forum software in January 2010. This has been a frustrating time for it's powerless members and staff who have had to limp the site through some very difficult times. I am now pleased to inform you that some of the staff members have acquired full control of the site and moved it (again) to a professionally run server and that company have also worked hard on the site to upgrade the software and iron out the bugs. It's still work in progress, but if anyone would like to take a look you can now find the club at it's new domain : www.smaxownersclub.com Thanks.
