[Forum] Welcome back !

[kib]

Hi All,

we seem to be alive again.

There are obviously still numerous issues with the forum at this moment. If you have a suggestion as to what I could change on this brand new installation, please let me know in the replies.

Sincerely,

Kib

Thanks for getting it back.

Is it still work in progress? Or is all hope gone for recover on the rest of the information?

Is there are wiki?

Hi Kib,

Thanks for bringing us the new booxusers forum!

At the day that the OpenBOOX project celebrates its first anniversary you come up with a dedicated sub-forum, nice present

My suggestion is to add the M92 to the subtitle of the 'Boox M Series' sub-forum, I think this one is more popular than the M90.

One question: Now that we know what can happen, can you tell us something about your backup plans?

[kib]

I know I made a backup in August 2011 when I did a big update on the forum software. At that point I deleted all earlier backups because they were useless at that point.

Sadly I can't locate the August 2011 backup; I am a bit worried that I might have accidentily removed or overwritten it shortly after. Ideally it should be on my 5-bay NAS, but it isn't. I am hoping to locate it on one of the USB disks, laptops and pc's scattered throughout my house.

Wiki:
I might be able to restore the wiki from before the crash. There were no backups of the wiki - I haven't checked it out to be honest.

Done.

Good point. I will setup rsync between this box and my 5-bay NAS at home soon.
This also means you can ask me about it again in the future =) Please do remind me.

Thanks for fixing the problem before it is even reported!

Congratulations!

Good work on getting BooxUsers.com back online, Kib.

I would suggest replacing the myBB style name "Black Times" with "BooxUsers Forum".
After all, the "black times" are over now, right?!


If you want help getting a wiki started again, I have experience in writing & organizing wiki pages.

For the record --if it matters at all to your recovery efforts-- my registration from October 2010 did not survive --I had to re-register today.

The backup I could find was from may 2010, so that is correct.

I am still looking for the July/August 2011 backup.
I did a lot of work on the forum during that period (massive update) and I know that I deleted all previous backups after I had made a new one (files and database) because the old database backups were obsolete after the successful upgrade.

I can't locate the backup I made, which is just really weird. (I have a 5 disk NAS at home that holds all important documents)

I am slowly starting to realize I must have forgotten to copy it from the server to my NAS.

I did a quick edit now, but I will make a real logo at one point - I have the original PSDs with the little Onyx A60 logo in it, but no photoshop on this laptop.
