What happens every night at 11:30 EDT / 8:30 PDT ?

Recommended Posts

Out of curiosity, what is the process happening behind the scene that causes Independence to stop for about 60-90 seconds every night at or around 11:30pm eastern daylight time / 8:30pm pacific daylight time / 5:30am CEST (Stockholm)?

 

I've been told it's a nightly backup routine, but also told that's just scuttlebutt with no official word (recently).

 

Thanks!

Not sure, but I do know the backup lag on Xanadu is so predictable, there was someone announcing it's arrival about 10mins beforehand for a while.  Pretty useful service actually.

 

My money's on backup, especially if it's like clockwork.  Official word would be interesting to learn though. :)

Their database is on a mysql server and is being locked while all the data is dumped for the backup.
