[freenet-support] backup
hello all, I'm installing e permantent node on a server (we'd like to create a public gateway as well) we are dedicating one hard disk to the freenet and we are wondering about the backup of the datastore. Is it enough to do periodic backup of the hard disk in order to save the data stored in our freenet node in case of crashes? ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Is it enough to do periodic backup of the hard disk in order to save the data stored in our freenet node in case of crashes? I wouldn't even bother with the backup of the datastore; just have the node references exported at some sort of frequency (daily?) so you can use that as the seednodes rather than the public ones also make sure that you backup the nodes own key (so other nodes accept it as being the same node; named node_port# if I'm correct) and config file (freenet.ini or freenet.conf); I consider the datastore like the cache directory of my web browser; if it gets lost; no big deal I can get the data from the internet again (in the case of freenet; the data exists out there; on other nodes; or else it wasn't important enough to worry about if your node was the last node that it existed on) Trevor ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Remember that currently Freenet needs more bandwidth than disk space. I've been running a node for a quite some time now (two months since I reinstalled the node), and my node currently uses 1 GB of the 12 GB I've reserved for it. The situation will probably change when the message routing code improves and the number of redundant queries goes down. Is it enough to do periodic backup of the hard disk in order to save the data stored in our freenet node in case of crashes? Yes, the datastore is just an ordinary file (or several files, if you need the datastore to be larger than the maximum allowed file size on your system). You might want to shut down the node when you do the backups. -- Mika Hirvonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nightwatch.mine.nu/ ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
