Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[JohnMurga]

Hi,

Much has been said on the subject of backups and longevity of the forum ...

I thought I had left a note on this subject on Barry's site, but I guess I might have nessed it up.

Backups ... The forum gets backed up automatically every week to a different server (different host), however, as Pizzasgood mentioned if anything fatal was to happen to me it might be a little difficult to recover things (thankfully we don't have 18 wheelers here, coz that didn't sound nice).

However the database does contain some information that is confidential, so what to do ...

Well, I have decided to give access to the backups to Flash and Barry (should the unthinkable happen).

When it comes to the server ... Puppy is so popular that it does suffer under load quite a lot right now ...

However, the server is due for an upgrade in May/June, and after that we'll have over double the power and a full set of OS upgrades, so things will be much better than they are now.

I have set the time aside for the new server setup tasks, so hopefully I'll also get time to resolve a few of the other niggles and give the mods a way to reboot the box if it crashes.

Thanks for your understanding

Cheers
JohnM

Cheers

Have to agree with Eyes-Only. Very well expressed.

Learn Linux. Use Puppy

Todos estamos bien agradecido con todo que hace para nosotros. Como usted sabe, he tratado mantener una fórum para usare cuando la suya no está funcionando. Solo lo he tenido por uno o dos semanas. Hay tanta basura que viene. Usted y los asesores hacen una labor bien valiente. ¡Que Dios le bendiga!

Atentamente,

John,

I am concerned about the use of the words 'general health' in the title. I
pray all is well for you.

And thanks for your extremely valuable contributions.

John:

I know I have had a whine occasionally;
when I should just stick to wine.

However, your efforts have always been appreciated.

Do we need to do any fund raising for you?
Of course I am used to using people up,
but if you are in need of donations please tell us.

I hope that you are indeed in good health.
Just remember though, if you don't look after yourself
and I ever have to nurse you and give you the
' kiss of life ' you'll want to die.

And yes that thought scares me to.

All the best.........regards Chris.

Indeed, with so many eloquent people in this forum, I can can only say thanks for setting up this forum John. You're not paid, you're a volunteer, but you still dedicate your time to it. Seriously John, thank you. I've learnt so much from here. All the best to your health, your life, your future. Many blessings!
