All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part V

[GethN7]

Now that the initial panic is over and recovery/rebuild is on the way, I ask again, why is it that we don't have a backup more recent than three months old?

 

At least half of that is my fault. I could have insisted on regular dumps sent to me personally, but I stopped doing so when I got the WikiTeam to archive us (their latest is from August 2014), and I didn't check to make sure more recent dumps were still being made.

For that failure, I offer no excuse and apologize, it won't happen again.

As for the other half, Orain has always had a battle for disk space (turns out our server logs kept building up so retarded fast it wasn't funny), and making backups kept getting shoved to the bottom of the pile, at least until our space problems were allieviated.

I plan to obviate this from now on by requesting regular dumps and attempting to archive them with archive.org every so often, with image dumps when possible (again, going to ask John to help with that). If anyone else would like to help, it would be appreciated.
