  1. Lightbulb Now with backups!

    So as some of know the forums got pwned when they wiped themselves out and my one backup from months earlier did not work.

    Today I have fixed this issue. For one I learned that the database can be backed up via a cron command this would have been useful to know before but hey I really had to search around to figure out that you could even do it this way, and it is a good thing that it can be done this way b/c it is free and easy. Second I learned that making it backup to a different file each week and overwriting the old file is a pain in the ass, such a pain in the ass that I did not do it. Instead it is on 3 day intervals b/c there is no real way to run weekly.

    The important thing is that the forums now auto backup on: wensday, saturday and once a month. To three auto overwriting files.
