Marathon PC downtime 10-05-2020

[shaitan]

I'm going to have most everything turned off on the Marathon PC(Renegade/part of IRC/Teamspeak/Webserver for Renegade things) Sunday night/Monday, and backing up everything.

Tuesday at 2am(EST) they're going to be working on XEN updates for it. Just to be on the safe side I'm going to back up that PC. Idk how long that will take.

Upcoming reboot 10/6 at 2am EDT
Oct 02 2020 04:16:30 PM PT     We are planning to upgrade the version of Xen on your machine to the latest version at 2am EDT on October 6. This new version offers various bugfixes, performance improvements, and security fixes over the current version that your machine is using.

As a result of the maintenance, you will see your server go down for approximately 10-30 minutes, then boot back up. If you are running Windows 2012 R2 or later, your VDS may need additional reboots to work properly, due to a bug in older Windows Xen drivers related to how it boots up (that only occurs during bootup) -- our system will attempt to detect when this is the case and perform them, but we recommend checking afterward yourself, as well.

If the timing of this event won't work for you, please let us know ASAP, and we can reschedule.

Ren related backups are done, doing the E drive now. I doubt anyone will be playing renegade within the next few hours anyway.
