Usenet Explorer

I get the message that the service is being backed up. Are there problems with the search service?
I have not been able to access it since yesterday and the last post that indicates is down was dated last week.

there were some restarts yesterday due to exhausting RAM, i'm rearranging things now.

i may restart it few times, i'll remove the backup message in the forum main page when i'm done.

but now it is working stable, restarts i'll postpone until it fills up the headers.

Thanks

if you see any problem with search like it is restarting a server and there is no message about database backup on the main forum page (it is quite rare) - report it immediately on forum.

i have search service monitoring but it has some tolerance to avoid false alarms since sometimes it might be dns problems or lost connectivity.

as to restarting though in the future i will catch this specific condition so i'll be aware of restarts right away. normally server doesn't restart by itself at all, only in the case of power failure or e.g. exhausting RAM to allocate database data/index space (at least i wrote down a note to add it).
