We are undertaking maintenance work on the Virtual Machine server infrastructure at Oxford e-Research Centre.

Our servers will be 'at risk' on Monday - Thursday for the next three weeks:

9, 10, 11 & 12 June 2014
16, 17, 18 & 19 June 2014
23, 24, 25 & 26 June 2014

There is no plan for 'downtime' on any of our services, but we will be running without backup support during this period.

What does running without backup support mean? Does it mean that if there should be some kind of disaster with the server that trickles and zip files submitted within this period could be permanently lost? If so should we suspend work until server maintenance is finished?
