Still pending... I'll let it ride for a while and see what happens. Good thing I didn't actually need to do anything with it (testing or otherwise!).

I've gotten two builds to work so far.

@scottalanmiller What is your secret? Which eyes / toes/ fingers are you crossing? Or does Jupiter have to be at a perfect 90 degree angle to Saturn?

Any other planetary alignments necessary? I've let both of my attempts run for several hours with nothing at all happening.

I'm yet to up/down/side-grade to cloud poo(?) oh, oops. Pro, CloudPro.

So let me get this straight, you get your entire VPS nuked when you move to the service. You have to back up your own stuff but it's almost impossible to back up a C@C instance (offsite)... IF, you can connect to it.
Am I correct with any of ^that?

What backup software/strategy are you lot using?

There's no what to do a true image restore as you couldn't boot from it. You'd have to do file level backups.

nadnerB

Well, I've up/down/crossgraded to CloudPro...
Installation is... pending

It's been 30 minutes.
What is the above mentioned average based on? If it's based on the consumption of Bourbon and Cola or Jager Bombs by monkeys, I'd understand but... actually, no I wouldn't. Why are there drunken monkeys involved in this?

None. Just lost everything. That CloudatCost initiated this killing off of the VMs prior to coming up with a backup strategy shows just how much they have no idea how to do this.

Dashrender

Awesome, they also nuked my FreePBX system I had running.. yeah!! (NOT!)

Dashrender

OK this is weird.. I have a personal account and an office account. They nuked my office account, but my personal one is still working.

They nuked it... completely?

I'm giving this service one more chance before I write it off... I deleted the VM and started another install on the new CloudPro service at 10:28AM (EST).

This will be my 3rd attempt since Friday.

Danp

Good luck! FWIW, I've had one pending since 3:45 yesterday afternoon and another for the past hour.
