Backup

I am running the backup.

I am close to figuring out what was causing the problems with the automated script, and so should have a scheduled backup ready to go soon.

I was thinking around 4 am EST, let me know somewhere if you disagree.

The loop continues

Backup again, then off to bed.

Here is my random/fun fact for tonight: Google drives about 5 times the traffic to our site that yahoo does. Windows live does about a third of yahoo. Other random search engines barely register.

Backup

This is getting repetitive right?

That's not a bad thing since the only other reason I would have to post here is something worse has happened. I am working on redoing the automated backup scripts, they were causing some problems, and until that is done the backup is manually done before I go to bed. Which is why it is not at a set time...yet. I will get it all automated soon enough and there will be a set "known" time.

Fun fact for the day: Wednesday and Thursday are by far the most popular days for RationalWiki. Saturday is the least. Almost twice as much traffic flows through on a Wednesday compared to Saturday.

Rinse Repeat, backup alert

Nightly backup is running once again.

Fun fact of the day: Less than 25 percent of RationalWiki visitors used Internet Explorer to view our site for the month of June. Almost 10 percent of our traffic comes from Linux operation systems. Not your average web surfer!

Guess what? Backup time!

Nightly backup is running once again.

It will make the site inaccessible for probably 10-15 minutes, and then a little slow for another 10-15 minutes. Everything should be back to normal in about half an hour.

Fun fact of the day: The text of our little wiki is now over 10 gigabytes in size. That's a lot of "talk talk talk talk" people!

Backup time again

Nightly backup is running once again.

It will make the site inaccessible for probably 10-15 minutes, and then a little slow for another 10-15 minutes. Everything should be back to normal in about half an hour.

Fun fact of the day: A google search for "esther hicks scam" or "esther hicks fraud" now returns RationalWiki's Esther Hicks article as a top rank. It is bringing in about 50-100 hits a day. Esther has a habit of attacking her attackers, maybe something interesting will come from this?

Backup time

Backup script is running, said script will make the site inaccessible for 5-10 minutes, assuming nothing goes wrong.

Edit:

Backup done, everything should be back to normal till tomorrow. Night guys!
