Expand Hard crash on the forum, most recent working backup was ~5 months old, so 5 months of threads, posts and accounts were lost. Edit as some people have misinterpreted this post: The above refers to the April 2013 event, not the current one.

Poodmund Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) For such an important community forum for a worldwide product, wouldn't it be pretty simple and reasonable to run a rolling backup at least once a month via Cron? I appreciate the database at this point will be incredibly large but that is a byproduct of success. Edited January 6, 2017 by Poodmund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climberfx Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Should have at least a time machine like backup, that keep autonomous backup of the all recent things, so it would always had a full system backup and a little more "old" too, since the amount of data on backup (total) is always bigger than actual data from server.

No pictures are saved on server, no video, nothing of the things that take GBytes. So, i don't imagine a so big backup data. complex, yes! Lot of data. But Bits. Need an autonomous system.

Expand ClimberFX, if the forums were on someone's desktop PC or laptop then Time Machine or similar solutions might be appropriate, but anyone running a forum with 24 hour uptime year round for several thousand users will be using something more professional.

Climberfx Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah, i already use it for data Sarbian. Well implemented, like when i needed restore an email, i could, is a database. Like Wise. An adress on my contacts, etc. A we'll implemented backup program, should have a internal program that recognize the data base, so you choose what you wanna restore. I believe that should exist too.
