Downtime is okay. It gives you the opportunity to compose posts in a neutral, non-hierarchical context.

I myself have a notebook of pristine posts, untouched by internet derision.

oh really fool?!?

quote:

I've logged in to the servers and looked around. Here's the plan as I see it and some question:

1. Stop the crons that writes to the archives database
2. Take backup from db1, and copy it to db3
3. At the same time, dump the archives database off of db3
4. Restore the backup from db1 and restore replication
5. Import the archives dump file

db1 has a bout 9G of MyISAM tables, and we will be using xtrabackup to take the backup. This means that the server may block for a few seconds to a few minutes while copying that 9GB of MyISAM data. Is OK to do this anytime or do you want to inform your users for a mainteanance downtime?
