I'm a bit confused by this ... so only the posts (now empty) uploaded via the site's upload function from December will reappear? And NONE prior to the 14 hours in January? If that is the case, then more than 14 hours of posts have been lost. Please clarify. BTW, thank you, as always, for all your hard work in restoring BZ from its latest disaster. Posts are stored in the DB, since the "main" BZ server crashed, I setup BZ on the secondary server with the previous days backups. That DB backup was from midnight the night before. Once I get the main BZ server back up I would have access to those posts but its impossible for me to "merge" them with the DB and the posts that will be current in say 5 days from now. Now the images, I didn't have daily backups (since its so many), I do monthly type backups. Once the "main" server comes back though I *CAN* merge images easily, because they reside on the filesystem, so its a simple copy and paste. Once I do that, the missing images from Dec 6th -> Jan 9th will reappear. Thats why I can restore the missing attachments, but cant restore the missing posts. Hope thats kinda clear. And you live and you learn, I will add the images to my daily backup job so there would be a much smaller loss.

No, sorry any posts, PM's that were sent during the 14 hours span from the last backup to when we failed over was lost. Sorry

Please see the website downtime announcement. The images will be restored sometime next week

Yes that is the stuff that will reapper.

You are fine to post new images And yes, only 14 hours of posts are lost and sometime next week the images from the last month will magically reappear.

Sorry the posts are gone, once I get the machine back up I would be able to see the posts but there is no way to "merge" them with what would be the curent database. Regarding "images" I am refering to images uploaded using the upload function and Avatars and sigs that have been uploaded over the last month. What do you mean about topics showing 5 instead of 3 pages? Anything done in the last 14 or so hours was lost. Sorry

Everyone. We had a failure on our RAID controller and after much trying to revive it we decided to fail over to our backup machine. We lost a few posts (backup was from 1am) and have lost about a month worth of images (temporarily). Once we receive the new RAID controller early next week we will sync up the images again to restore them. Sorry for the inconvenience.

http://www.bellazon.com/main/forum/25-general-babe-discussion/ Done. Just ask or PM me and things will get done

The SPAM stopper service has been restored. Hopefully it will help. Sorry for all this junk

Thanks everyone, good to see shes still doing some work

legal issues...

OK i figured out why I didnt get called. It essentially was set to only alert on "no content" but since technically it said "DB ERROR" that counted as content I have changed the policy to call me if it doesnt find specific keywords. Sorry everyone

Hmm actually it did alert me Bellazon has recovered after errors were detected. Errors started at: Thu 12/13 08:36:02 Errors stopped at: Mon 12/17 15:10:19 Total error time: 6154 minutes. For more information, click on the detailed logs link below: but was in spam

Yea its strange, it would appear Apache couldnt talk to Mysql for whatever reason. After bouncing apache all was well. Anyways I am reviewing my monitoring (which calls my cell phone if something is broken) to figure out why it didnt alert me.

it is back is it not? It wasnt working for me and i fixed it, thats how i knew it was broken :|

hmm sorry guys. I just noticed when I tried getting on the site today. I dont know why my monitoring setup didnt alert me Need to go :trout: the people I pay for monitoring.

You can just use the upload feature on BZ and welcome, your avi is funny

I need to start poking old members to come out an post :trout:

I dont know what the thresholds are but I belive a certain number of replies over a given period of time will mean its "hot" aka popular. Once it drops below the threshold it goes back to normal.

I have something to resolve this on my todo list, I promise I will get to it when I get time. I hate it too

bout time jk, welcome. I checked out your tumblr, very nice

Someone already has that name as well an other name you want?
