@onions

Rsyncing a static file is very different from rsyncing a DB file that is constantly changing. Are you saying that's how you're currently "backing up" your production mysql servers?

Besides, thats besides the point. Larry HAD a hot copy which was corrupted because well apparently the "rsync" (I'm sure he wasn't using that but for argument's sake) copied over the corruption.

Hence you always need to be keeping distinct copies of 500GB data sets and that gets unwieldly quickly.

On another note... I wonder what the terms were for the "paid" subscribers... are they getting the remainder of their subscription back or the full amount?

Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point

Larry recommended Diigo. Well does anyone know how THEIR backup procedures are like?

Are you kidding me? Backing up 500GB to S3 would take forever. This is not someone's rinky dink app we're talking about. – jimmyjo, on February 06, 2009 05:54
