34 | <PRE>><i>You mean you dont do daily backups of your services database? | |
35 | </I>><i> | |
36 | </I>><i>Possible suggestion for 4.5 tho, have a database integrity checker, that | |
37 | </I>><i>goes through the database, and makes sure that everything is hunky dory, | |
38 | </I>><i>that way, you know when your database is starting to fail (would be nice | |
39 | </I>><i>if it had a repair option too, when you have over 5 thousand registered | |
40 | </I>><i>nicks, (9 thousand and something if you count forbidden nicks) and a 2-3 | |
41 | </I>><i>year old services database, you DONT really wanna have to start from | |
42 | </I>><i>scrach, and losing a days worth of data (by recovering from previous days | |
43 | </I>><i>backup) is not really even an option. | |
44 | </I> | |
45 | Actually, I'm considering a fairly major change in the database | |
46 | format for 5.0 (my plan is to start 5.0 development shortly after | |
47 | releasing 4.5) to prevent this kind of problem, where a single corrupt | |
48 | entry renders the entire database unusable. However, the DBs shouldn't | |
49 | become corrupt in the first place, so the only real solution I can | |
50 | suggest is to take backups. On EsperNet we take two backups a day so | |
51 | we're never more than 12 hours behind, which should be more than enough. | |
52 | (Why would recovering from a previous day's backup not be an option? | |
53 | It's surely better than losing everything.) | |
