Hi,
Our forum crashed recently and apparently it's because we've blown the database capacity on the server. We're with Webfusion and have decided to upgrade to a new server but they claim we can only transfer our database in chunks of 8MB (!). As the forum database is in gbs, this is something that will take ages to break down. We haven't had advise from Webfusion on how to reconstitute this at the other side either...
Has anyone come across this before or is this just Webfusion? It's unbelievable that they're insisting on 8MB chunks, it's almost back to the days of floppy discs. We've asked if they could remove / increase the cap for the transfer of the forum, needless to say the frontline support people we get are unable to do this and the engineers are just not getting back to us.
If anyone can throw any light on this we'd be grateful, it's proving frustrating to say the least.
Thanks,
Silky
