Test of the emergency backup system
Test of the emergency backup system
Sorry for last night's brownout, folks. It gave me the... er, opportunity to test my backups. And they worked!
I had installed a "Content Management System" that I had hoped would unite the Forum and the Gallery. Alas, the software has its share of problems - and as it turns out, is no longer supported. I tried to back it out, but it clubbed the database and the software.
I did a backup of the database immediately before installing the software, so restoring that was easy. However, the software was seriously damaged. I had to go to my home backup to restore it. And it worked!
It appears that everything is fine. Please let me know if you determine otherwise.
