 Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 22:41 Post subject: Important nwnx.org site information |
 |
|
The nwnx.org website has suffered from a critical hardware failure yesterday and today.
I am too tired right now to give a lengthy explanation as to why and what, so here are just the facts:
1. Complete failure of RAID-1 storage space
2. Backups have been restored
3. The most current data is from 22. February
4. No other data (e.g. source code) has been affected
This means that not only the site redesign has been lost, but also all posts here in the forum since late February. I am very sorry for this, but there is nothing I can do about it now.
More updates to follow.

Well, the site is back to where it was before the crash now.

Absolutely terrific!
As a side note, RAID1 == bad...but I'm sure you already know that 
If you need some offsite backup, I can offer you free ftp space for automated backup. |

Well, at least it's not good enough, apparently 
Thanks for you offer, but backups should be ok now.

so ... I'm back and see the disaster.
Don't you think you should do a mysqldump everyday now ?
with gzip compression should'nt take more than 10Mb/day.
I use a stuff like that in a scheduled tasks (windows)
to backup my forums every day.
| Code: |
SET RN=%RANDOM%
<path_to_mysql>mysqldump.exe --host=localhost --user=<user> --password=<password> --compatible=mysql40 --opt --databases <database> <path_to_savefolder>\filename%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%_%RN%.sql
<path_to_7zip>\7z.exe a -tzip <path_to_savefolder>\filename%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%_%RN%.sql.zip filename%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%_%RN%.sql
|
to do for mysql database & your forum database.
Also make a regular backup of the binary folder
The syntax should be near for linux. |
