As some of you are aware, we've been having some issues with our nightly backups, and we've been planning for some time to implement a new solution. We've finished our testing and we're ready to put it into place.

This should reduce the number of times we have unplanned outages and improve our overall performance: particularly for those where our 4am maintenance window is less than ideal.

Unfortunately, this will require a short downtime while we make some hardware changes. While we're at it, we will be relocating one of our servers and performing a few other minor changes we've been postponing.

Because this involves the cooperation of two other companies, we can't do this in the middle of the night. So, TribalPages will be down for a short period tomorrow afternoon. We will try to make this absolutely as short as possible, but you can expect all services to be down for some amount of time tomorrow afternoon.

We plan on starting at around 12pm EDT (5PM GMT). We should be completed by 4pm, but we're not expecting to be down anywhere close to that entire time.

We appreciate your patience and will post a note when we're done.
