clips.com downtime and hardware maintenance.

Clips.com Providers

We have experienced a hardware issue which has required us to take the
site temporarily offline. We are working diligently to restore the site.
The process of restoring this information may take up to several days,
but we anticipate that all files will be back with the exception of
files that were in the process of uploading on 10/21 when this issue
started.

We do maintain a full backup of all data on the site to prevent the
possibility of data loss.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact feel free to
contact me directly by email or icq.

I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused, and assure you
that we are doing everything that we can to have the site up and running
as soon as possible.

A little heads up for you clips.com tootsies out there.
:winkwink:

oh noes my monies!

thanks for the heads up. will adjust accordingly

No problem. Everyone goes apeshit, and throwing up bat signals on GFY about people going out of business, and all this other madness when these things happen. Thought I would save the drama for yo momma.

:winkwink:

loadbalancers, several database sync servers, raid 6 filers + dialy back ups on 2nd raid 6 filers for the first raid 6 filer (1 on 1)
Netapp too
I was tought these lessons before
Expensive, but worth it.

DON'T BE TALKING BOUT MY MOMMA! :mad::mad::mad:

*insert bat-signal*

We do this as well.

unfortunately restoring 14 TB takes a few days.

the databases and servers are all fine. it's the storage devices that went apeshit.

dont make me upload everything again - lol

i rather wait some days

I know what you are talking about James.
We had this shit 4 times already the last few years.
And it sucks big time.
Why does hardware never do what you expect from it at these prices.
