I'd advise against it atm. We don't have the backup scheme running yet so if something goes wrong you'll be set back to April 4.

A far more general warning, and one that has been made more often...

1. IF YOU OR THE DM CRASH DURING A REBUILD... DON'T EVER LOG IN WITH THE SAME CHARACTER.

There will be an automatic backup, but as soon as you use that character again it will be lost.

2. DON'T PUT SO MUCH STUFF ON ONE CHARACTER!

This has a tendency to crash DM's during a rebuild.

Number one is the big one here folks. If you crash, or the DM crashes (the second one is the big one) do not log in again. OR: If the DM crashed, do not log OUT. Stay in as long as you possibly can, panic, run around in circles but do not log out. An admin can get immediate backups but it's really important that they haven't been saved over, and logging out and logging in causes saving.

Why not simply ban rebuilds till the backup is done? Just to be safe.
