Server will be going down around 9pm ish tonight or there abouts, for approximately a hour while I do a full disk backup (Assuming I have not forgotten by then :lol: ).

There are also over 100 updates to UBUNTU which I will install after the backup is done.

I am assuming something will probably break.. hence the backup first.

I plan to take the server offline Friday afternoon for a full disk backup and install all the pending updates.

Everything will be down for approx 1-2 hours depending on what goes wrong.

I had to do the backup of the server and do the updates just because it was just continuously hanging, it was just getting ridiculous.

Not sure if the updates will help things, will just have to see how it goes now..
