Things are going well. ALL BBC databases (for forum and all sites) have been backed up. We are now working on full file systems. This is the "big dog". This is where we make sure all the uploaded images, files, plans, everything, is stored off site and securely. This will protect BBC and our builders from data loss as we plan the next set of software and server upgrades.
As you can tell, we have worked with the hosting provider, the offsite storage provider and BBC team to balance the need for system maintenance with site availability. I can not promise that we will have as little impact in the future, but as of today, we can run full system backups with no impact to site usability.
I'm looking forward to working with Jeff and the BBC team to bring more system level stability and improvements to our community.

Thanks Jeff!
The maintenance is officially closed!
All, we have officially verified all forum data and files are backed up! We are still baking up some of the BBC auxiliary sites, but there should be no impact to us on the forums or ordering product from Jeff.
Next up on the list:
1. make backups operational (auto scheduled): should be by end of the week; no impact
2. phpBB upgrade: no timing on that yet; will require 2hr of down time
3. server OS upgrade: no timing or certain direction; should be very short downtime but unknown at this time
If you all have specific things please PM me. I know TapaTalk is on a few people's list of forum adds. I'm looking into it.
Y'all have a great week!
