Rod. Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 First, thank you for being the leader in forum software. I've been using IPB since the beginning, and it's great. The biggest concern I have is ensuring my database is always available. I have 13+ years worth of forum data, and when performing upgrades, installing hooks, etc, I'm always concerned about corrupting the db. Yes, I have backups, and I've had to restore from backups. Unfortunately restoring from a backup can take several hours. The biggest feature request I have is ensuring my data is available. Perhaps it's possible to somehow take db snapshots? What if there was a second database that got replicated every night, which would at least provide one good backup daily. You could only go back 1 day, with just a few clicks. I'm not a programmer, however this is just a feature request that I think would be beneficial to many. Not sure how you would design such a system, but certainly would be nice. Keep up the good work! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 They did have something in mind for IPB 3.4, where the backup would be hosted by IPS. I think it was pulled off right before the stable release, as the infrastructure wasn't ready for it yet.

Rod. Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 That's right, I remember that now. I sure hope they offer this service in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
