if you have an account at digitalbyond.net or digitalbyond2.net, you need to make a backup now, just in case hosting does not resume before the April 20th deadline.

I will try to make a complete backup, but that requires changing over account permissions so that i can SFTP the data to my local 700 GB storage drive. I hope to start that on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

As per the digitalBYOND Terms-of-Service, it is your responsibility to make backups, not me. I am only doing it because I might be able to resume hosting at a later date, and it could be easier to restore from my backup when I do get back online.

**READ CAREFULLY** If you do NOT make your own backups and later come crying to me about it - tough. It is not my job to keep your data.

BUT, if you cannot make a backup due to bandwidth restrictions or lack of storage space, I will try to save your data. You can even get it on CD/DVD if you pay for postage.

Hopefully I can keep digitalBYOND going with the current provider. In the event that I cannot continue and must start a new contract elsewhere, existing accounts will be re-activated and get their offline time credited for free to their new accounts.

Watch this blog for further announcements!

Oh, and please comment to this post if you have successfully made a backup or would like me to backup your data for you. If you need help getting your data, drop me a line at digitalbyond@gmail.com and I will try to help out.

Good Luck!
