From BeSTGRID

[edit] Friday, 22nd August from 7pm

First full backup is scheduled on this Friday, 22nd August from 7pm and very likely will be lasting over this weekend. To have all your files backed up we would suggest you do not have access to them. That doesn’t mean that they will be inaccessible. But if a file is open it won’t be backed up. Though such file will be backed up later during an incremental backup procedure but it would be better to have all files backed up during this first full backup.

All BeSTGRID Auckland supported DATA services will be affected during this period. Following is a complete list of these services:

• New Zealand Biomirror
• New Zealand Social Sciences Data Service
• Austronesian Basic Vocabulary and Bantu Language Databases
• Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS)
• Ecology and Animal Behaviour
• Human Immunology
• Genomics
• NZ NEES @ Auckland
• Bio-engineering’s SRS Service
• Passive DNS Project in ITS
• Quantum Optics
• The Polyhedrin Project
• Statistics
• SBSBS-LDAP Service
• NDSG services - Gridsphere, R solver
• BeSTGRID Services NG2, NGData

All BeSTGRID Auckland supported Network services won't be affected during this period.
