Completed a backup of all the non-eQSL web sites and moved them over to the new app server. It took a little over an hour to move it all across, so the eQSL programs should take about the same amount of time when I get ready. Since the eQSL site has tons of graphics files, and a lot of temporary files, I'll have to move it all twice: once to test it, and then again when I am ready to move everything for good.
I'm doing a full backup of the entire 120GB database of eQSL right now, and will move that across to the new database server for testing.
The database tuning advisor has been running for several days now, coming up with recommendations for changes to the eQSL database configuration, index files, etc.

- This blog is starting out as a way to keep you informed as to the status of the migration to a new server farm at eQSL.cc. Ultimately, this will be a good place to post any changes to the status of the eQSL.cc system, for instance in case of an outage, since it is independent of the functioning of the eQSL servers.
