Heads UP, Ladies!

There are some server issues with our provider which we were warned may cause some data loss if there's a server failure. It would be a good idea if there's something here that you don't want to lose to make a backup/copy of it (this is a good idea in any case & now is a fabulous time to take care of it as part of a regular thing). I've noticed all our sites are up & down right now -- so hopefully if you have something to save, you'll be able to do it before there's a (potential) catastrophic failure.

As we library geeks like to say "Co-location is a good! thing!" :)

Yep. Back it up. I lost a huge chunk of fairly significant stuff from 300 words a while back. After that, I started backing stuff up as soon as I posted it. It's easier to back up right away than to go back and back up a bunch of stuff.

is this what has happened over at HM???

will stuff on blogs there be lost???

Nope -- HipMama (& all the associated sites) came through & are on new servers, so this is a new and different alarming thing. We don't know what's caused it, we don't know if stuff has been lost yet... It doesn't appear to be a problem on our side of things -- Lynn has submitted a trouble ticket & I'll keep y'all posted as I get information. I wish I had more info to pass on, but right now we just don't know what's up. :(

thanks for the heads up

I just copied a bunch of my 300 words into a Word document. Thanks for reminding me to do so.
