Slow server every Monday night

テクニカル諏訪子	Maybe you have noticed already, every Monday from 1:30 am JST to around 3:00 am JST this server might be slower than usual. This is because we make big backups of all websites with constant changes once every week. This is the backup schedule: Every day at 0:00 JST: database backup creation. Every Monday at 0:30 JST: file backup of constantly updating sites (like DSHack, StarFox-Online, 076.ne.jp, etc.). Every 1st day of the month at 1:00 JST: file backup of sites that rarely or never change (like the sites of nurse customers). Every day at 1:30 JST: send the database backup to all backup servers. Every Monday at 2:00 JST: send the file backup to all backup servers. Backup servers are all located in the same region as this server is located, which means in Japan, Singapore, and Australia. Hong Kong and South Korea are coming soon too. Here's the status page: http://status.076.ne.jp/#/ You might want to refresh the page to get the correct information, it's a known issue, and will be fixed when I get the time for it.

Azareal	One of those servers is in the same city as me lol I'm not quite sure what it says, but should a bunch of them be red?

テクニカル諏訪子	This topic is outdated. I had some backup servers for a while after having this one offline for more than an entire day because those at the datacentre saw a DDoS attack, blocked the server from the internet as a counter measure, and put the server back online after the attack disappeared. Except the server didn't come online at all, it was only online for them, and support refused to believe me when I said that I even pinged the server from all over the world and it's offline everywhere, because it worked for them at the datacentre, so it worked in 1 building in the entire world, so it worked. So I did an NMAP on the server, told me there was a DDoS attack again, which then resulted in the server to get back online again. So instead of DDoS'ing it offline, I DDoS'd it back online. Magical right? But running these backup servers only ended up costing me extra money, since they all had up to 50 GB of SSD each, and for whatever reason the deletion part of my crontab didn't want to work.

Azareal	Wow, it's like a datacenter version of the legendary "works on my machine".
