Server Maintenance > **Server Maintenance** > > **Starts:** 7 February 2023 12:45 (Europe/London)\ > **Ends:** 7 February 2023 13:26 (Europe/London) During this window, I will be attempting to migrate the server data to a new location, hopefully resolving the timeout issues with the DTP and some Dimensions. To avoid issues with data loss for anyone who registers, changes their inventory survival etc I will be disabling registration and closing survival. The following dimensions will be open on the backup server using the data at the time of the start of the migration: - Rift - Items - Zombies The following will be offline during the migration: - Survival - PvP - PvE - DTP - Build Even though Zombies will be running, map makers should not attempt any edits of their maps in any way. The migration consists of: 1. Disabling registration on Rift backup server 2. Pointing `t.dark-gaming.com` to backup server 3. Closing all non-backup dimensions 4. Saving data 5. Starting a new DB server with saved data 6. Updating all dimensions, services and DTP to point to new DB 7. Starting all main server dimensions 8. Pointing `t.dark-gaming.com` to main server 9. Turning off old DB server 10. Posting announcement of maintenance complete ---

Will Phase work or is it part of dtp? ---

Phase is unrelated and not part of the maintenance ---

Completed. Initial test of all dimensions + services seems good. If there are any issues as a result of this maintenance that I have missed, they can be dealt with individually and usually without disruption of other services. ---
