Short Update
From Hattrick
Short updates can be surprisingly devious in Hattrick. Normally these are supposed to be of a relatively little importance, serving to perform some simple maintenance tasks.
Beware when you see a short update announced on the main Hattrick page! In some case they can last days!
Examples
- The Short update on Wednesday July 12th 2006 ended up with an unprecedented downtime of two and a half days, and a full system restore had to be made to the point right after the league matches were played.
- On Tuesday 11 July 2006, during a storage upgrade, the master Hattrick database became corrupted. After limping along well into Wednesday, the Hattrick Team was forced to take the site down for more than two days to do recovery. When the damage proved too great to fix, for the second time in the history of the game, the team was forced to restore from a backup.
- Fortunately, HT-team amended bankruptcy situations and teams were given one additional week to collect the required finances.
- On Monday, August 23, 2010, Hattrick was taken down during a short update for routine maintenance the system was forced to a full restore from back up due to a buggy firmware upgrade introduced by Hattrick's disk cabinet supplier.
