I just checked, and it looks like we're back up on the old system. Nothing has changed.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DCJ mentioned that during the site-out he was starting to get organised at PeoplesForum. I forget the order of our lines of defense.
PF irritates the hell out of me these days, and I think I don't even have an ID over there anymore.

Here's the text from support:
It should be up now. We ran into a problem with the migration. The utility that converts the backup from the 7.5.4 based server to the 8.1.1 server failed. Now that we have a 7.5.4 backup from your server we can use that to debug the problem with the conversion utilitity. Once we have that issue resolved, we'll plan another live data migration. This utility is new to Plesk 8.1.1 and probably has a few kinks that need to be worked out.

I think it's getting to the point where it would be easier for us to do a backup, they do a clean install, and then we recover everything ourselves.

Let me talk to them about that.

Okay, found out why it failed--there's a table in the MySQL databases with a period in it, and all the MySQL utilities are balking at it--it's what frelled the upgrade.
I don't actually think it's one of ours, but I'll have to make sure.

They've cleared up the issue with the wonky DB and tested the upgrade on the new system and it worked.
I'm of the mind that we should just let them at it Sunday at 9pm board time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Go for it!

Um...we seem to be in imminent need of a new Bitches thread name and, shortly after, a new Bitches thread.
Some Spikey possibilities:
Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
Help me out here, Spock, I don't speak loser.
I'm not the first choice for heroics.
Some truly spectacular kickings of my ass.
Hasn't got a death wish? Bitch won't need one.
Did I sully our good name?
