Nightly Maintenance -- Interrupted Service

Backups of the Cougar Courses database are performed nightly and will cause short times of interrupted service. You are advised to plan timed activities (quizzes) outside of the 1:30 AM to 2:45 AM window. Cougar Courses is typically completely down from 2:30 AM to 2:40 AM.
