Full Site Backup [March 20th, 2008]

Spyrorocks · Mar 21, 2008 4:34 AM

Hello, all!

I am currently making a full site backup (Did you know SpyroForum is about 1.5GB in size?), so please ignore any errors or downtime that might happen while I am making the backup, it is only temporary.

I bought a nice new shiny LG 2GB USB drive to put SpyroForum on (Highly encrypted of coarse).

Thanks,
The adminstration

The backup is complete.

The SpyroForum SQL database itself is 57.4MB in size.

I'm just curious, what does this mean for the forums?

Spyrorocks · Mar 22, 2008 1:55 AM

I was just letting you guys know there might be some downtime while I back everything up just encase anything happens, so I can always restore it.

A few HTTP 505 errors and 404s are a lot better than an obliterated forum...glad this place is so well maintained.

SpyroGirl101 · Mar 22, 2008 2:45 PM

Yeah, this forum is getting better and better every day!

Nice!

But 1.5GB is like, small-ish for a forum like this. smile

Spyrorocks · Mar 22, 2008 5:48 PM

No actually, thats quite large.

The database is where all the posts etc etc are stored, and its about 57mb in size, which is pretty large for a mysql database dump.

Message boards usually don't reach 1 GB...

o-o

Oh and if possible could you fix the SF-only error that makes the site destroy all other tabs/browsers when this site is open? O_O >_>

Spyrorocks · Mar 23, 2008 3:04 AM

I always use SF in tabs on firefox, and it doesn't destroy the tabs.

Spyro · Mar 23, 2008 3:12 AM

My tabs aren't destroyed, either.

A Guy · Mar 23, 2008 3:23 AM

I use Firefox and my tabs are just fine.

Doppelgangergang · Mar 23, 2008 8:27 PM

Tabs are fine.

Does the 1.5 GB also include the uploaded pictures?

Spyrorocks · Mar 23, 2008 9:06 PM

Yes. Thats what makes it so large.

Doppelgangergang · Mar 23, 2008 9:28 PM

Oh, I see... Because when I used my calculator the byte-post ratio was waaay out of proportion. It turned out as if we post 25,000+ characters per post.

EDIT: Would it be cheaper to backup SF on a burnt DVD? I mean, a blank DVD is like $1.

Very good news.

Trainer_Spyro · Mar 26, 2008 4:11 PM

DVD's are too frail. You drop them on the ground once and they break. >_>
I put too much faith in USB drives.

Oh yeah...
Where's the congratulation for Razz's promotion to moderator?
