#18 The impetus for badanov’s back-up a year ago was when Rantburg went down for weeks while Fred was hospitalized with Covid, leaving Gloria to try to deal with that on top of everything else.

For information: badanov also hosts a back-up O Club for when Rantburg is down: http://oclub.1dogstar.net/cgi-bin/bb.pl. It’s bare bones, so I keep in in my Favourites, to keep the shakes at bay during extended outages of the main site.

#19 There are several people here way further up the IT totem pole than me, but I would point out a backup is only as good as the first proof of goodness via a disaster recovery drill. I have no idea what badanov has in place, but hopefully a proof that the backup will work for outside users will be totally unnecessary in the bigger scheme of things. Again, prayers and get well, Fred.

#20 There are several people here way further up the IT totem pole than me, but I would point out a backup is only as good as the first proof of goodness via a disaster recovery drill.

Using rsync, the working theory is that if there's no file, there's nothing to update, so the backups are intact.

That's the plan.

#26 Get better soon Fred.

As for a backup - it really is as good as the DR exercise used to validate it. Did one on a subversion server awhile back and was embarrassed by the number of holes I found. Its too late finding a problem or missing file during the rebuild / recovery.
