Hi again, you'll want to consider two things:
1) For high-load Gitorious sites, any operations currently on the message queue won't make it over to the new instance 2) The clone operation itself is non-destructive, but could impose a load on the system right when you're running it (mysql dump and rsync of all your data) Night-time/low activity time slots is probably safest. :) cheers, Thomas On Monday, April 8, 2013 at 7:39 PM, Chris Holden wrote: > Thanks Thomas! > > Is this safe to run during the day or should I plan to run it at night and > stop the server? > > > On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 1:25 PM, Thomas Kjeldahl Nilsson <[email protected] > (mailto:[email protected])> wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > > > actually, there's now a simpler way to migrate than backing up and > > restoring in two steps.
