Sam wrote… How does one back up a system like that? - Well, it’s rsynced to X mirror sites around the globe (where X is I forgot, but I believe around 8 or 10 sites). So one site going dark isn’t going to make the content go away – even if the dead site is the master site on classiccmp. The frequency of the rsync is up to each mirror ISTR, but many do rsync daily. Second, most of the classiccmp server is rsynced from the datacenter to a 12tb nas at my house about once a month just in case something bad happens. It’s not a perfect system, but should be adequate. I’ve been pondering a few modifications to the above lately what with all the shuffling going around anyways…. Best, J

Tape backup lto would do it easily, at this point probably incremental backups to an external drive would be a cheap alternative too.

At this point, its down to loose ends and freebie/myhobbystuff :) The classiccmp server will be reloaded, a few much needed disks added... and there's been a host (pun intended) of classic computing websites asking to be hosted here and I've been putting them off till the above is completed. Still working on those roundtuits, but it'll happen. J

Did you perhaps change your IP address? Bitsavers rsync access is only allowed per specific IP addresses... -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Jay West via cctalk Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2017 10:19 AM To: 'Christian Corti' <c...@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de>; 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Subject: RE: bitsavers rsync server down That's my fault I'm still mopping up pieces from our datacenter move.
