Oh darn it!

Makes one realise how much one relys on this site and how much gets posted in just a few days!

But considering the size of the site and how complicated it must be to manage it - it a wonder more of this doesn't happen.

Cheers

I'm hoping that the people that were buying my three cruisers are gonna come back...

okay, maybe they weren't there yet, but I'd like to think they were.

it could be worse, you could've blamed it on someone else

'was' M-W-F...but had an issue with the M file....fortunately, we had a 'live' backup running that was created Monday as well, so that was brought in...

WILL be testing immediately to find out why the M backup didn't work, and we discovered a few other issues in the process as well.

also changing to a nightly backup, and have already been in discussions with Barracuda regarding offsite backups of everything...that will be implemented in Sept.

I mistakenly dropped a production database once. Luckily I caught it before it hit the ground.

Lol. Kinda pointless to send you an email if it was your fault. I thought I would save the day. Instead I reminded you that you messed up haha. Oops.


Sure did fix it quick !

Close the site down and put the DB on Ebay, not for a 7 day auction but 30...that should get you some $

EDIT: and maybe some lawsuit....

Woody, what tapes do use?

I often visit a dev site and phpbb was not backed up by the host company unknown to the web site administrator. When he went to migrate to a newer version it crashed and was not recoverable. There was no backup and so, we lost two years of forums rich in dev and business discussions. Im pissed so may not return untill thay start a new forum.
