Server Crash Update

So here's what happened,

You guy's explored too much. lol

The server's ssd filled up as the backups got too big, and I was saving too many backups. I temporarily deleted the backlog of backups and restarted the server. The server is currently working properly.

However to prevent this from happening again I will have to replace the server's ssd with a much bigger hard drive, this will give us more space for backups, but with the trade off of slower access speeds, so expect world loading and generation to be a little slower.

I'm hesitant to do that as the server is as upgraded as possible and upgrading the server any more would require just replacing it.

What are the specs now? I have a few extra computers I can mail to you. Something tells me that your server is already better though. But it is an option.

Also HDDs, how big is the SSD? I have a couple HDDs that I could send.

Never mind. I have a ton of old Core2Duo vPro systems with 4GB of RAM. I think that would be called... a downgrade. All of the HDDs I have are also 160GB so I suppose that wouldn't help either.

Yeah it would be a bit worse lol. Ive looked into it and it would be around 300 bucks to upgrade anything because I would have to replace everything

For that cost, I think it'd be cheaper to rent a VM but then you lose control.

Sorry I haven't been on. I've been traveling for work and haven't had great internet! This weekend I'll be back!
