Way to many crashes

[Koopayoshi]

Hey, the website just crashed and the same thing happened a few weeks ago. Why has it been going on so often?

 

[UltimatePetey]

I think it's the server. It crashed 2 times today so far.

 

[ToxBox]

That why I can't enter this site so I played Angry Birds online game

 

[YamiHoshi]

I didn't notice that, but I wasn't available for an entire afternoon.

 

[yoshidude99]

The wiki didn't work either.

 

[NSY]

I saw it crash. I think it needs to stop, I have seen it way too many times.

 

[yoshidude99]

Yeah and it's really annoying.

>>yoshidude99
Sure, since the entire server crashes, only the Forum will not work, and the Wiki will work. [/facepalm]

 

[yoshidude99]

The wiki didn't work for me when the forum crashed though.

 

[Yoshiwaker]

That's because they're on the same server.

 

[porplemontage]

Yeah, I was running a backup and the site became inaccessible.

 

[yoshidude99]

Yeah, I was running a backup and the site became inaccessible.

How did the backup stop the site though?

Took up all the server resources.

Backups can be really intensive, especially if the new amount of data is a lot more, compared to the last backup.
So the more edits and posts have been taken place, the more intensive it'll be, and backing up every day is already lots of work, while backing up every hour is overkill.
