Hello, I went trying to set up aldor/axiom and found out that MathAction is down( anybody know how ?)
That does not look good if we can not recover the data. I can not provide funding but I can provide cron backup if desired. I know I delete most of them but we get notification of page update on the mailing list so maybe we will be able to reconstruct everything ? Good luck, Antoine Hersen On 3/31/06, Bob McElrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As you know I wrote a script and cron job to backup mathaction's zodb > some months ago.
