As some of you may have noticed we had a few issues today resulting in a little downtime.
What was pre-tested and ready to go decided it wanted to fail when applying the updates to the live system. On the upside we have good backups so we managed to get back up and running within a few hours and it looks like we haven't lost any data which just goes to show that time spent backing things up 28 times isn't really a waste after all
If anyone notices anything not working quite please let me know either via email, PM or in this thread.
It should be mentioned that the updates that were pending are still not complete and will be attempted again later after some more testing to ensure we don't have the same issue again.
I do major upgrades in the wee small hours so if things go wrong there is time to fix it before the users wake up... this was only a minor update and should have just worked... but anyway. Might have to get up really early for this one just in case.
