it is dedicated server but we have another totally different server in a different datacentre which sites are backed up overnight

No use backing up to same server or indeed another server in the same datacentre in case of fires etc


OK, understand that. But most backups wouldn't delete the previous backup until the current backup had been completed and verified? And most professional backup systems would keep several versions of the back up? Just seems bizarre that all backups have been lost.

due to the actual size of the backup (LF and the photo gallery) we don't keep days worth of backups. The backup partition for LF was only sufficient to keep one version. No way around it I am afraid, the only other backup copy is a dev copy we keep here which is years out of date

30gb these days isn't really that much at all


It is when we do a daily / weekly backup to another server in a different datacentre over the internet unfortunately Vicki (For the techies we do rsync backups and they are full not incremental as incremental can have plenty of issues whereas full you know where you are Wink )


Lots of organisations do daily back-ups between data centres and synchornising mirror servers without issue

There should always be a roll-back point - the crash during the back-up surely can't be the first one made Shocked Confused

I've long stopped putting my photos directly onto LF - but I can fully understand why people are upset - I know some of my best photos of one of my older girls are on there Sad

LF is one of the few forum sites members pay to use and the least they can surely expect is to know their cherished images are safe? Confused
