Title: ON again!!
Post by: msx on 2014-Apr-18
Horror, we have lost several months database  :'( :'(
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: spacefractal on 2014-Apr-18
second time that happens with database lost. Host: Where is the backups?
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: Ian Price on 2014-Apr-18
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....  :'( :'( :'(

Is that random months or the most recent stuff? If recent, that'll mean that all the Android Extras links and instructions are gone.  :rant:

The last post for that was in January.
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: Ian Price on 2014-Apr-18
That's not sooooo bad. :(

At least we didn't lose everything.
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: spacefractal on 2014-Apr-18
but this is second time its actuelly happens, so there is something wrong with the server. So what when its happens next time? Im remember its happens in around one or two years ago as well. So im wait to repost the AE updates etc before hearing what its was happens.
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: erico on 2014-Apr-18
oh noo, :( hope all is fine now.

Come one again? Seriously? I really miss some professionalism here - I mean a server crash can always happen, but thats why you make backups... Its a bit annoying, sorry. :rant:

Post by: Marmor on 2014-Apr-18
whats the problem with this xxxxx Server ?
Really i cant understand , because i know serveral other forum without this " hit win the face ".
we  need to pay for an better updateservice , i think yes because some bucks a year a better as
this fire in da house scenario.

Gernot please move it away from this horrible provider, its not the first time so i cant understand.
yeah backups are for pussys......

kanonet are right

Post by: TI-994A on 2014-Apr-18
Interesting. Could it be sabotage?  :whistle:

Servers nowadays maintain administrative logs of any and all activities, backed-up on the host side. Perhaps an inquiry might solve this mystery.

I think Gernot should do their testing HTML5 on another server.  :rant: :rant:


A little humor in these cases are never wrong.  =D

Let's be optimistic. Perhaps still they have not uploaded the latest copy of the database.  :whip:

Yep, either way, let´s move forward, not that any of the info available is not at the least available at each poster´s home.

Hi imrsiv and Gruk. Welcome to GLBasic!   =D

Was a good program!

Its possible that what we see here is only what could be salvaged - after all, these forums were down for several days!

Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: Gruk on 2014-Apr-18
deja vu!? ;)

Fair play tho.. was looking up how to backup a 'simplemachines' forum.. its not easy - and most of the time doesnt work. My webby gets hacked to bits every so often - thankfully it now backs up to the cloud every few days.
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: MrTAToad on 2014-Apr-18
Its been a while since it last happened :)
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: Scott_AW on 2014-Apr-18
Well that's unfortunate, I noticed it was down a day ago, now it seems we're restarting the year here ;)

There is no year this year!
Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: SnooPI on 2014-Apr-18
it's funny the last post before the crash it's a "THANK YOU!" of me  :)

I'm glad that (almost) everything works again  :good:

Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: MrPlow on 2014-Apr-18
Maybe the Tapatalk service might have backups of the topics for re-creation?
Maybe there interfacing had a hand in the crash?

Very easy enough to make mySQL backups of primary tables...but I am not familiar with the SMF forum structure.

Title: Re: ON again!!
Post by: MrPlow on 2014-Apr-18
Spacefractal, can you repost that little timer snippet you used for Karma Miwa?
I meant to look into that

Personally I think the server is attacked. there are too many problem, too often (a competitor of GLB?)

Hi
The server is said to have two raid 10 disks crashed at the same time. They restored from my last backup. January that is. Oh no. I have to kick backups manually. It's terrible. What now? Move to a bigger, yet more expensive provider? Do I really need a root server?

But why the panic? You asked him less then 2 hours ago - normally it can take him days till he answers, and atm there holidays, so no point in repeating your question every 10 mins.

i smell gernots syntax on his last post ! so iam shure it is the real gernot  :D

i really think we need a better provider , and i think the need a better system for creating a user account for payed user.
. everybody can read , payed user can write . bothunting and kill viagra links cant make fun or?

And I thing so many cool guys here gernot,  iam 100% shure anybody can make your site
much moore better as is . its against you , you know what i mean .

and btw  we need a donate button !

Post by: spacefractal on 2014-Apr-19
im dosent post about forum issues etc on my webpage, and im dosent make new project so often. So no need to post about that thing, and that why last post is over a month ago, also we have different timezones :-D.

If you start a new post about timer issue, im will post the Karma Miwa timer snippet again. nothing problem. Im do not want to post the snippet here.

Im also need to update what its happens in the AE area (Premium GameStick support, Admob Intersitals support, GameStick+Ouya resolution surface support in strings.xml etc). Most did im do documents in the readme file.

Also im need to contact Beatscribe again to let him repost.

Let me know if you need help to set up a cron DB-backup.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/why-raid-5-stops-working-in-2009/162

In short: If one disk fails totally, a rebuild of the array will fail because there is a very high risk there is damaged data on at least one more disk.
