In line with the latest blog posts, the server will shutdown in 7 hours from now (18:00 New York, Midnight Berlin, 7:00 Hong Kong), but not restart afterwards. This will happen at the same time when the server usually goes for daily reboot anyhow. I will then take the latest backups created, copy them to a secure location and ask the hoster to re-setup the system from scratch.
With this process the chances are the highest that the system will be back up for Thursday/Friday and that there are no unsaved changes that could be lost.
NOU!! This is even worse than the daily restart!
This will be worth the wait. Unc, you’re doing a top job with this server!
