Forum goes down every day for a couple of minutes

Forum goes down every day for a couple of minutes at 8AM my time (12AM PST)

 

Is this known and expected, like it does a daily reboot or something?

I have noticed the same problem.  I just assumed it went down for some sort of maintenance.

It did happen to me as well for the past days, I thought they are working on the server hosting the forum.

We have backup script execute at that time which causes timeouts / 502 errors for a minute or two.  I'll try to optimize the backup scripts to lessen the impact.

Ok, good to know there's a reason, great if you can improve it but it's not a big deal, just a little annoying since it gets me almost every day during my first forum browsing, but it's impossible to choose an hour convenient for everyone, with the Earth being round and all.

I  thought it was a disc which is mounted on top of four giant elephants which are standing on a giant turtle

If it's in books it must be true 😁

I personally believe in the Doughnut theory.

Now it seems to be going down in and around 4:30 PM EST ( 1:30 PM PST ) daily

[johnnie.black 2331]

It still goes down daily at 12AM PST, maybe some other maintenance?
