Phillip, I think you asked about access to the SQL DB behind babel, and I said if you give me a public key, I could arrange for you to be able to log in to the amazon EC2 instance and connect.
But since then I've been thinking about the associated risks and the fact that we don't have much redundancy yet, and I'm inclined to do it a different way: we snapshot the instance into an image (AMI) and then you can spin up your own instance based on that AMI. Or maybe we move the DB to its own EBS volume, snapshot that, and give you access to that. Let me know what you think. -- Dan
