Hi
How big are the backups?
Chris
A database dump is currently around 2.2G
Wow, i didn't realize it was that big. I can probably offer 12GB of storage, and there is a 2TB/mo traffic limit. Does that sound reasonable?
Yes, we can probably live with that (we'd probably only need the last couple of days), especially if we have alternative backup sites.
I have surplus space on my website of appr. 15Gb (no trafficlimit), so there could be a multiple back-up choice.
That would be perfect.
I can open a directory oe on it so the link would be to oe.buscadero.nl
I could provide an index-file with all files listed if none exists yet though it would ofc take some time creating that
Not sure if this is necessary. We just need a place to dump files, not mirror the site itself.
Honestly , no insult intended for anyone offering personal resources....., but if the Euphoria data (backups) are important, it makes more sense to store that data somewhere under the Eu admins exclusive ownership ?
This makes sense, but no single alternative place is bullet-proof. This is why I like the idea of having multiple backup locationss so much.
If a external site owner suddenly has a beef and decides to delete the backups, or does not renew his site, the backups are gone forever.
Agreed. However, it's certainly possible for a hosting provider to up and disappear in the middle of the night, taking all our backups with them as well (though very unlikely).
FWIW money was donated a long time ago, with the suggestion that it gets used to host a decent Euphoria server - the last post on that subject was that the money had yet to be spent. So how about it, admins - no time like the present?
I see no reason not to choose to do all of the above - the more the merrier.
