7562 and have just had a file transfer glitch at the template server end of things, all of our servers managed to see the issue, report it and move on to the next template, so okay those templates will be missed from the copy process this time round, but things have failed safe. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Next time I write something like this I am going to add a couple of lines of code to show how far its got We are up to 10,975 templates done, which has to be something like 1/3 but I am not that sure. I'm waiting to see the main weekly backup sizes, in the hope they are showing signs of reduction. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

We got some reduction in backup size, though in all honestly it was a little disappointing. But then with: 16,999 template copied as I post, that is only in the region of half the templates and some will have been edited since and hence made their way back into the backup system. Clearly we have several days to go to get through all this. though the fact that we served 1,355,110 from the new template server yesterday is rather good for such a halfway stage. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

20,888 done and Zaphod has actually finished. I have kicked it off again to see how long it takes now. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

23140.... Never did quite find out the time on Zaphod, but it was very fast. It is now doing it nightly and probably taking less than 10 minutes. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Down to under 1000... I really want to get on to the phpbb3 version of this, but there are only so many things I want to be dealing with at the same time I guess we have 24 hours or so to go now before we are complete. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Just seen another little glitch on this. There are obviously a few motivations in doing this, trying to help load levels, keeping reliability high and controlling costs. I had been assuming that a large shared hosting system would be good on reliability and cost when it came to serving static files. Clearly cost is good, but reliability is raising questions To deal with reliability the system has always had a 1 minute check to switch off the template offsiting if it is supsect, but this is kicking in a lot to often for my liking currently. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums
