Forum down and back

[erico]

I noticed a couple days off on the forum,
I sent msg to Ian, Space an Gernot.

Gernot´s email bounced back, is all ok?

I see some news post as 14th april, did we loose something?

[MrTAToad]

It does look as though some things are missing...

[mentalthink]

Bad news, ins't¿?.... I thonk the reason was for some update or something similar...

I hope the server don't lose too much things, however we have toons of info and sometimes it's really dificult search or remind what's search.

[erico]

yep, checking some threads around, it seems things after 14th april are gone.
If we did loose that (no backups) then at least it is just about a month worth of posts.

[Ian Price]

There's sooooo much valuable info here. It would be terrible to lose even a small amount of it. Data loss here on the forum seems to be getting worse

Time for a new server?

[spacefractal]

second time its happens?

example my GameInput APi is gone. damn those backups not working?

And all those orientation iOS8 issues and updates is gone.

nice.

also im do wait to repost if they can been found those data.

[erico]

Maybe Gernot can update us on what happened.

The crashes kind of happen once per year.

[MrTAToad]

Did Gernot get a forum backup cron job going after the last time it happened ?

[Ian Price]

I hope so, but I suspect not

[bigsofty]

Strange indeed, a lot of hosters provide an automatic backup service for their users?

We're on 15.Apr.2015.
The server HDD crashed again. WTF!?

OK, I use "Froxlor" on a debian server. I have backup access to:

Disk:    25600 MB backup space total
Server:    orion.backup-systems.de
   SSH / SFTP / SCP / RSYNC / FTP / FTPS

I would like to perform an incemental backup of everything every night.
Can someone please assist me to make such a backup AND!! a restore script, please?

[MrTAToad]

This link might give you a few ideas (and the odd script too) : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8446193/automatically-backup-mysql-database-on-linux-server.

I am doing backups by hand when I have the time. I still have one from 2015-05-17 if that is interesting. If you give me login details I can fix up the backup scripts too.

Gernot, your email is still not working, anywhere else I can send the backup?

[spacefractal]

im reposted what im doing in gameinput.api. but dont worry if lost. There is few posts reposted there.

Incremental backup would be great. Unfortunantly I have no idea nor experience on how to deal with servers and such scripts.
I can help cover the costs thought!
