Database Crash

We have had a database crash with the posts table. Unfortunately this has meant that I had to import a backup copy of the table, which means we have lost the posts made since then. We have lost about the last two and a half weeks worth of posts.

Ouch! :banghead:

I have no idea what kind of a pain it is but maybe back up once a week? I can see that the postings in my White Rhino thread were cut off during the insulation debate which was rather active but that was 3 weeks ago.

I generally aim for around once a week depending on how active things are. I had been intending on doing a back up, right around when the crash happened. The last backup, previous to the crash was almost exactly 17 and a half days beforehand.
