hybrid 1043 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 Epic f**k out 2 for the year .. hopefully thats the last of them but this time we have put some measures in so it wont happen again. We have moved hosters and gone back onto my old servers so we have control of our systems again. Which has allowed us to make sure backups are being done properly. There was a massive team effort to bring it back online including data recovery. It was quite touch and go for a while there. But im glad we are back Massive thanks to Cliff, Ollie, Andrew, Heineken, Skype and rack dragons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliff 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2010 Let me paint a picture for you .. this is how the pro recovery of the bimmer site took place.... * 3x guys in Auckland .. with Servers, Beer and skype... * 1x in Christchurch, with remote connection, skype .. and of course: beer. Results: Josh taking a leak behind the rack... Andrew giving me the glad eye... HOT! Josh couldn't find the key to get into one of the servers .... apparently a screwdriver and adjustable pliars do the same job? When in doubt .. apply more alcomohol... Josh and Andrew reeeeeaally confused about where the keyboard is supposed to go... Ollie making sure the beer gets consumed... All up, I Must say .. It's one of the more fun recoverys I've performed!

Andrew 30 Report post Posted April 24, 2010 hah rad. Fingers crossed it all holds up - some rangi things going on there. Big thanks to Cliff - the moment we slid the servers into my rack and hit power we were stuck hah. Cliff skyped us through the whole thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted April 24, 2010 lol bro webdrive, $30 a month, new zealand owned Unfortunitly this aint no personal home page. We have gone back to a model that works, own bandwidth and own servers. Means we can keep a closer eye on it and stop relying on other peoples stuff.

fatjoez 3 Report post Posted April 24, 2010 Not sure how much bandwidth you guys use, though far as I'm aware Pricespy runs on webdrive, so I'm sure there's a suitable webdrive plan for this site that would be affordable/reliable etc. just a thought Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
