LOL, his IP was never banned and neither was he. It's great theater, though.

Considering this site's management had not yet taken the Backup 101 course and got caught with their pants down with almost a month of downtime, it is interesting that they can state in such a derogative way that they are sure they don't have some sort of automated firewall on their site.
And if people think I don't know the difference between a routing issue and a single IP not being able to access a site, then the level of discussion here is far lower than I had thought.
Instead of "welcome back" I got something else. I get the message. |

So are you back ? |

Did you insist upon having one like the other person? If not, there lies the problem.
However, I think I could dig up some 80-yr old guys in a speed-o for you in order to wish you a belated welcome back.... if you so wish... |

Is your incremental backup of a forum with 10,000+ members only text that doesn't take any space? Is your incremental backup free? Have you ever tried to actually restore your incremental backup? How successful was that?
I think my original post bears repeating. |

I think my original post bears repeating.
I'd like to introduce you to my friends LVM snapshots (for a consistent starting state), rsync (for efficient transfer of incremental data), ZFS snapshots (for efficient storage and retrieval of incremental data), and Percona XtraBackup (for consistent hot mysql backups)... This is not a terribly difficult problem to solve, as it's a problem that *everybody* has had for a very long time. As such, there are a lot of easy solutions. Yes, it takes some effort, but it can be done extremely cheaply and it doesn't take a huge amount of effort.
A backup can look something like this:
1) Initiate a MySQL hot backup
2) Create an LVM snapshot to freeze filesystem state
3) Rsync the filesystem and SQL dump changes to backup server
4) Create a ZFS snapshot once the copy completes, giving you nightly incremental checkpoints that you can refer against
You can also do things like replicate the MySQL database to the backup server directly so that you don't have to copy the dump over the network at backup time.
Since a backup server doesn't need crazy performance (just decent reliability), you can build a backup server with a ton of redundant storage very cheaply. You just need a big chassis, a few RAID controllers, and a ton of enterprise-grade SATA drives (which can be found in 2 or 3 TB sizes, no 4TB for enterprise yet).

I just find it silly the number of morons who think because they have an account on DSLR they're suddenly in a position to tell people how to run their systems even though they clearly have no fricking clue about the topic. |
