WinCert.net Downtime Information

[NIM]

Dear members and visitors,

as you may all have seen, WinCert.net was down for 24 hours.

Our SW RAID fell apart and we had to re-assemble the disks to get it back online. This was not an easy task to do as we went into more strange issues on the way of server recovery.

Luckily, we managed to get back online with the help of several people that were working on this issue together.

To avoid this situation, we will soon migrate to another server with Hardware RAID setup and offsite regular backups.

And again, we had a nasty RAID issue with our (old) server. This time RAID was totally crashed and we had to restore the 3-day old backup to our new server.

Hopefully, we won't have this kind of issues again.
