    Site down - post-mortem notes

    As many of you are aware, the site was down for the majority of today. I spent as much time as I could on it today but didnt really get to hardcore troubleshooting until I got home. I appears the database had issues, possibly corrupt. I quickly tried to restore from backups and ran into a major issue, only about 1/5 of the database would restore. The host was finally able to restore the entire database on the back side. First time I have run into either of these issues so it was a learning adventure all the way around. Thanks for your patience...now back to modeling! (This did get me out of doing a bunch of tiny pin stripe decals tonight)

    Being on the other side of the world, I missed most of this until 20 minutes ago so I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms.
    I'll be the first in thanking you Matt S in your efforts to restore RMR.

          Thanks Matt!! Anyone able to shed some light on cause of database issues? Hardware? Index corrupt? Hacking? Might help prevent it happening again if cause was known. Again Thank You Matt!

            As i mentioned in my post, likely corrupt. No evidence of anything malicious going on.
