I'm not sure what caused it.

It seems that the server locked up while compressing the forum backup. I don't know why. This normally works fine -- I just tried it now without any issues.

At least you're backing up Smiley

They restarted the server. Smiley
Ah. Was this planned somewhere? Seems like maintenance should be scheduled such that people don't lose posts.

Nope, not planned.  It seemed like something locked up and when notified, they restarted the server and things were working again.

I noticed from the recent posts roll that there were ~8 minutes of downtime for the forum. During this time, I experienced a "database error". Did anyone else notice this? What was the cause?
