Unfortunately, tonight we experienced a primary hard drive failure on our server. At this point we've been told that all data and information has been lost. I am not yet sure as to the extent of what was lost as far as sales tracking and other important affiliate information. The good folks at Webair are trying to get a new drive in our box as soon as possible, and we'll have the site re-loaded as soon as humanly possible.

I cannot express how sorry we are for this problem, and any and every attempt will be made to make it up to you all. Please be patient with us as we re-build the site and get everything back up and running. I hope it will be within the next day or so.

In the meantime, if anyone has any cares or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me at bill|@|newbreedmedia|.|com or ICQ 346940591.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Bill and Arika

Oh, and to the good folks at GFY, this is the only board we are really on, so I hope this announcement is not out of line.

newbreed · 09-29-2005, 03:24 AM

ok, I just heard from CCBill, our primary biller. They know what is going on and are noting our account, so hopefully members will understand and our fine and dedicated affiliates will not lose anything during this outage.

well, they're losing sales as we speak

.
sorry for what happened, hope you get back asap.

GoNe · 09-29-2005, 03:44 AM

I wish you good luck and also here is a tip. Go mirrored disk so if one would fail you could just switch over to the other disk.

cool1 · 09-29-2005, 03:49 AM

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get everything back to normal. Good luck.

Dalai lama · 09-29-2005, 03:50 AM

That's sad to hear, hope you guys get everything fixed asap

Yeah, you might want to think about a fail over system. If one server fails it will automatically go to the other one.

Tat2Jr · 09-29-2005, 03:59 AM

Damn that sucks.... hope it all works out. I'm going to be call my server companies tomorrow and checking up on my backups.

newbreed · 09-29-2005, 04:00 AM

Thanks everyone!!! Just waiting on Webair to get a new drive in and loaded up so we can begin rebuilding.

Pete-KT · 09-29-2005, 04:00 AM

selena · 09-29-2005, 06:23 AM

Hope this is fixed for you soon. I flip if I'm down for 5 minutes, and I'm not a program owner. Best of luck!

broke · 09-29-2005, 06:25 AM

WTF - 8.5 hours to replace a drive and install an OS? You could be setup somewhere else by now. It's not like webair has a backup for you to use or anything...

Trafficbrokercom · 09-29-2005, 06:47 AM

how on earth can you run a partnership program without even redundant raid controllers and scsi drives ?

thats fucking nuts and unprofessional..

but you learned your lesson and will hopefully stop saving on hardware in the future.

Frank The Tank · 09-29-2005, 06:49 AM

damn bill sorry to hear that - anything i can do let me know

Doesn't sound like they had any real backups either. Even with a crashed drive they should have been back up within an hour.

Wow, my free sites and galleries have more redundancy than that. Sounds like a really amateur setup. Good luck.

dicknixon · 09-29-2005, 10:31 AM

Im sure you're already getting advice on how to avoid this in the future. . I really reccomend setting up RAID 5 or 7 so you can avoid this sort of data loss.

Sorry to hear about this calamity!

Shoehorn! · 09-29-2005, 10:45 AM

Shit, sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you get it back online soon.

nitelord · 09-29-2005, 10:46 AM

wtf are you doing running a business without a plan for when your SINGLE SERVER dies?

Lace · 09-29-2005, 11:06 AM
