Title: Guess the old posts ain't comin' back?
Post by: sofadoc on June 23, 2011, 04:01:26 pm
I see we've had another "mini-crash". Our old posts only go back to June of last year. Too bad, it looks like a lot of great threads may have fallen into the "Black hole".
I hope Ken, Bobby, or Fragged can find them.

There should be a backup somewhere. Whoever the site is hosted by will surely have a backup tape on their servers.

One of the guys here will have to request from them a restore.

hiya

I have no control over back ups i'm afraid, forum backups can be downloaded
from the sever by the forum administrator so if the host doesn't have a copy
then if Ken might have a backup.

i'm no expert but restoring an old back up may wipe out the latest stuff ??

I am not sure Richard how the back up is performed. But on backups done on other web sites it is all seamless and everything mesh's together. No loss of anything if it is done correctly.
