UPDATE: Daily Maintenance Downtime No More!
Jun, the new developer we brought on a few weeks ago, has been hard at work replacing our current databse backup process with a new one. His work is now complete and as of today we are turning off the morning daily maintenance and replacing it with a new process that requires no daily downtime. Instead we will have a slightly longer process 1 day a week.
We will still need a weekly process to perform a full backup. We will take the site down for about 1 hour on Wednesday mornings and run our backups and database optimization scripts all at one time. This new process not only requires no daily downtime, but should be even faster to recover in the event that we need to do so. We will still have the same level of safety in our backups, we're just running a different type of backup for the daily process.
What does this mean for you?
1. No morning downtime.
2. No morning downtime.
3. No morning downtime.
We are still going to reserve morning period as a window where we perform server maintenance. But any downtime should be no more than a few times a month instead of daily and should only be a few minutes and will usually be pre-announced.
Enjoy!
