You are dealing with multiple business models, or uses for the cloud. We use it as a CDN more than a backup solution, where others are doing it vice/versa. Once I knew about the planned maintenance it was easier to deal with, but a couple weeks ago when I went to change an image and couldn't, I was frustrated. It took 2-3 times on chat to get a definite answer. He explained that it was still beta and was every Tuesday. All better now :) Great work over there at MOSSO! That makes sense.

We typically only put the system in "read-only" mode during the maintenance window and don't usually take the full 5 hours. We also wanted to put in a set time so that early adopters could reliably plan around those windows. But even better, we plan on removing the beta label and suspending the periodic maintenance windows early next year. Feel free to send any comments/suggestions to us. We'd love to hear your thoughts! <ej _at_ racklabs _dot_ com> Hi John,

But I am sure that will be over soon enough and this will be a real enterprise type of solution where maintenance is done at off peak times. Luckily we just use it as a CDN, so if we have to change a file during these times, we just serve them ourselves until we can get back into MOSSO. Hey Rob,

But thank you on the congrats. I am really working hard on my game. I spent this past weekend working on the approach. Went from an S6 sole to an S2 sole.
