    Everyday, our ISP creates a backup of the data on EC. It happens twice a day, and that's why we have a small downtime everytime it happens.

    The backup processes runs twice a day at noon and midnight ET and takes 20-30 minutes each time.

    The problem will be going away sometime soon, maybe a month or two, as we switch to newer, more robust hardware.

    Thank you, I was wondering about this.
    Experienced it even before I registered, and once after, heh.
