In the event of a Catastrophic Server Failure

Postby JustcallmeDrago » Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:02 pm

What would happen if all the data off of the ARF server was erased?
Is the data backed up?

What if the ARF site goes down for an extended period of time?
Is there a mirror site?

ARE WE PREPARED?? :shock:



Edit: sorry about the typo. devastated

I'm committed, too. I'm just not really good at AR. I guess that's a problem. :D :roll:

Well, more or less. The database is backed up regularly, but the images & files are not.
