Offsite? No. Or depends on how you define it. We got backups and can set up a replacement rather quickly when the current server goes AWOL, however all those machines are at the same hosting company, so when that hosting company exhibits a problem, we're cut for that time. (pootle-server would be at different location, but we couldn't access our backups to set up a replacement) We're currently in the process of defining an automatic fallover. So again in clear words: * We have backups, and have servers that can act as a stand in. * Currently setting up those replacements would be a manual process (copying from the backups to a replacement machine, and adjusting DNS entries) * We are not prepared for the hosting-company to have general network failures (but they surely will be very fast to solve those anyway) * Making an automatic fallback is already in the works. from your other post: > The website is crucial that it doesnt go down, especially if upgrades to the > server the site > is currently hosted on is needed Oh, the machine has undergone several updates already that demanded a reboot, but downtimes caued by a reboot are so short, it's not worth taking action... > what would the LO/ TDF in general do if the site went > down? choose one of the remaining servers as replacement, play in a current backup on that server, change DNS entry. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
