Re: Backed up

No, I'm not talking about work this time (although it would be equally true) - I'm talking about the New Mars database. What with all the recent activity I decided that it would be totally disastrous if the database were to be lost, so I made a completely backup a few minutes ago.

Granted, it's not likely that the database would become irretrivable but stranger things have happened. In an interesting coincidence, the last time I backed the database up was exactly one year ago, to the day. Worrying, I know, but also interesting

I think I'm going to make a habit of backing everything up every month now...

Re: Backed up

Hee hee, we haven't been backing up?!?! Are you crazy?

Great, though, about the backups, I was actually thinking about asking you about that.
