System maintenance

Regular maintenance

Please be aware of the following maintenance:

• Nightly backups of the system may result in slow response between the times of 12:00 midnight and 7:00 AM (Sydney time);

• While all efforts will be made to minimise the disruption to its on-line services, the Court has a "Maintenance Window" every Saturday morning when essential 'housekeeping' work is carried out.

This may cause intermittent disruptions to on-line services.  If there is major work required involving a complete outage to any service a notice will be posted on the login screen in advance.
