Server Outage

As my two readers may already have noticed, my site wasn't accessible for the last 24hrs. The SQL Server hosting my Community Server database had a hard disk failure, and it took them some time to find the backup tapes Tongue Tied

Apparently they found the backup, and my site is alive again. I used the time to change the skin of my blog to Paperclip with a custom header image as described by Keyvan.

Nice done.

Pretty good photo.  It has excellent colors for this skin.

Yes, nice photo, Thomas.  Hey, who's the provider?  It's always good to know a provider is able to restore from a tape backup...

Dave, it's the same provider as yours: WH4L. In fact, they don'n use tapes but store the backups on a secondary disk and a remote storage machine. BTW, for compensation they offered me a real-time mirroring of my SQL db for the rest of my life-time Smile
