More than usual websites being backed up at the same time

« on: March 03, 2018, 10:15:46 »

I am taking a "checkpoint backup" of all the content on around 30 websites hosted on our server today and you may see some degradation of performance. Saturday is always the quietest day on our system, and I do anticipate we have sufficient capacity to save there being any significant issues.

Yeah - I think I was doing too many tidy up tasks at one.

Now have a 43 Gbyte backup on our new home / business based server ... thats of a few less that 40 web sites of which the Coffee Shop and associated www.firstgreatwestern.info and gwr.passenger.chat pages are just one, with a total compressed space of just under 1 Gbyte. Also have backups of the various open source versions we're using (and at a source code level too) so that the whole shooting match should be restorable to virtually any Linux / Apache based server which we have sufficient access to.

Moving on to backing up development server, a small secure server site we have, and our safety net machine.

Many thanks for your update, grahame, but (as usual) I didn't understand a word of it. Roll Eyes
