Hi Guys

WE'RE BACK!

We may have lost about 3/4 hours worth of posts in total, but can you all please have a good look around the forums and make sure nothing else is missing.

I'm really busy at work so won't be able to inspect until later - thanks!

Cheers
Ry

I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiink the majority of it is there from a quick scan I've done. Couple of posts missing I think but nothing mega.

Might be time to try do weekly or even daily backups by yourself if thats possible, it saves all this hassle in the future maybe?

Anyway, it's good to be back online!

The SQL file is 285mb so I'm planning to set a reminder on my phone to do a daily local forum backup and then a weekly download copy through cpanel.

It is great that everything is back without too much loss though.

Is there no options anywhere for the forum to make its own backup every night? Like say between 1am and 5am the forum has a tiny bit of downtime and makes its down backup onto the server or something.. Or is that completely server related and not possible?

I know over on fiestaturbo they have daily downtime for stuff like that, so just thought I would put the thought across
