I've noticed a problem in this weeks forum backup, so I need to re-run the DB export. Normally this is done very early in the morning, but as there was a problem in the last backup I need to manually re-run it now.
This should take about 30-90 mins depending on how high the server load is, and it will mean the site should be browsable... but new threads and replies may not appear for some time (the new post window will appear to hang, as the database is locked). If this happens, I would recommend copying and pasting the post text in to a notepad document until the site is back to normal at lunch time.
I'm sorry about having to do this now, but it would be typical for me to need the backups if I don't make sure I've got a current copy
