This evening, the system was offline for about 65 minutes while I verified a comprehensive backup (using Mondo/Mindi, an excellent backup utility) that I’d made of the system.
Fortunately, this is a ‘baseline’ backup, so any future downtime will not be so long, since I can back up (and verify) differential backups.
Also, a new version (0.71) of Post-Nuke was released today. I’m watching the message boards to determine how solid & secure it is. Once I am satisfied that it’s a good release, I will begin the process of upgrading the system from .703 to .71. There should be a minimum of disruption to the system. I’ll let everyone know when the upgrade will occur.
