I didn’t think we’d be up and running here today because things went horribly awry yesterday evening. It would have been a good idea to not write my plan on the old server too because now I can’t recall all the steps I had intended.
Anyway managed to restore the content from a slightly older backup so we did miss out on an extra days’s worth of content.
The big missing gap at the moment is images. The old images are migrating over but they’re taking forever. It was estimating at a couple of thousand hours left when I last checked this morning. Hopefully that will still run along in the background. They still might not be visible then because they’ve moved location so we might need to do some rebaking of posts which could take another amount of days or even weeks.
If you notice anything funky other than images or recent content (last 2 days) being missing please let me know here.
Oh and let me know if the performance is better/worse.
Potentially. There are many copies of each image too. But it’s easier to try and move everything and then remove what we don’t need. As long as it happens in the background it won’t make much difference. And they’ll be moved away from the main server anyway sitting in cheap storage in Offaly or somewhere.
