I'm not afraid of messing with back ups etc... I've manually added data to a table when someone told me I couldnt convert the data without paying an arm and a leg. LOL It was data from one mod to the next (phpbb2 to vb). The tables were similar and I messed with it for a few hours and voila, no money and 3 hours later and learning how to drop tables, alter and add if not exist and I was in business. LOL Then drop crap I didnt need. Databases really are not that scary at all. Instability of back ups are. LOL That and its time consuming to keep rebuilding tables that dont import right. *pull hair smilie*

I'm going to look into external ftp storage and set it to two weeks I think. Then have a daily one hosted locally.

Thanks for the advise... I'm going to check with my host about the daily back up file limits. I'm on dedicated so they will adjust anything without issue. I'm going to install Paul Ms back up mod. I think... haha

Marco, that sounds awful... i think i'm going to do the same thing to my forum as well.
I've got db back-ups for over a month old... so that's 30+ back-ups.
Hope they're usable

I read somewhere yesterday that these punks have defacement contests for prizes. Get a life.


They came in through my joomla which was lacking at least 5 patches (ducking, oops). I do find it awfully funny though that with in an hour of posting on this thread about my use of joomla I was hacked. The things that make you go hmmmmmmm.
