*Update - 09:20: There is currently a major network outage in central London which is affecting our hosting company, the backup is over 90% complete but I am unable to finish it or carry out the rest of the maintenance until the network issue is resolved. I will update here when I know more.
*Update - 09:40: Apparently this is the second outage this morning so if you couldn't connect earlier this morning you now know why! I'm not sure if the issue is completely resolved but I have managed to reconnect and am continuing the backup, I will probably have to extend the downtime a little though.
*Update - 09:50: I've added 30 minutes to the finish time, the network outage does seem to be mostly resolved now but the connection is still a little slower than usual.
*Update - 10:30: All done, the server is back up and the whitelist has been removed!
