## Hey, nadir!

Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:40 pm

The recent forum outage made me realize that I might not have current contact information for you. Can we put a tracker on your skateboard? I want to talk about forum backups.
Holy ****, this is slow.

Yeah, that was a bit of a shock.
Regarding the forum backup:
1) I am here regularly. I seldom log in, but i always look for new threads (no need for a tracker on the skateboard )
2) I am not good at Linux anymore. Or computing in general.
3) I am pretty sure i did backups with a simple "rsync". I am also sure there is a thread at debianuserforums.org. I asked there, was given a solution and used that one.
What command i used (what options, arguments) ? The ones told said thread. It was nothing unusual.
Might have also been "wget" ... grml ...

Got it, thanks! Currently experimenting with getting it to not re-download files that haven't changed.
In the event of a long-term disappearance, I could just upload the whole mess to another site, and it would be browseable and linked from the home page and download sites (ibiblio and sourceforge).

Nice to see you nadir. Thanks for helping. It sucked to have the forum non-functional for a few days. Even though not much goes on here, it would be a loss to lose old posts with invaluable info.

Yeah, i was a bit shocked too it was down.
I went to antix forum, also hosted on freeforums, and it was down too.
So i guessed, hoped, whatever it would be a tmp problem.

iirc wget took a while, but it was ok, sure less than an hour. I couldn't find a way to only download "changed" content.

It's up to 70 minutes, and the bottleneck is not the down speed here. Must be on the other end. But that's ok. I made a cron job, so I don't have to worry about it.
I can't get it to skip the unchanged files. I must not have understood the man page correctly. I tried it three different ways, but it always takes the same amount of time.
