nthwgaming.co.uk website 29 July 2010
I know many of the NTHW clan also visit Cable Forum.
The nthwgaming.co.uk clan website is currently down. I am advised by our webhosting service, KillerCreation that the webserver hard disk failed late last night. At present there isn't an expected restoration time. They are working first to see what data can be recovered and transferred to replacement kit. This will also test out whether or not I have good backups   It is however a "free" add on to the nthw gaming server rental package, and as such restoration of the website will take second fiddle to any demands KillerCreation have for their core business of gaming servers.
The NTHW Gaming servers should be unaffected as they run on a separate dedicated server unit hosted by KillerCreation.co.uk.

One hard drive failed they are trying to recover data? wheres the back up? whats with the lack of any mirror or raid set up? even with it being free how many sites are going to be down? hard drives are cheap its gonna cost them more in man hours than it would to just swap the disk and set up a new mirror

Even cheaper when you don't have to buy a spare... Most cheap/free site space is done on a basis of no backup/raid system.

I can only advise what I have been told which is a one sentence statement. HDD failure could easily mean a RAID array card failure or whatever, and if your RAID card fails then the redundancy goes to pot.

Yep, it is nuts (especially as they're buying in bulk direct from the manufacturer) and a TB will cost about half of that but every penny counts..

It would mean something to me if someone didnt try to run it like this place
anyway as I said I only commented on the situation and how much easier it would be if there were back ups which is correct
