Backups!

July 22nd, 2009

Finally got off my ass to do this. The database (so posts/settings etc…) and uploads (the stuff you upload to posts) are now backed-up nightly, automatically. A full site backup (everything) is done monthly as well, also automatically.

Noting, I’ve rewritten the visibility options plugin (you probably don’t remember it). If you don’t remember it, that’s cool, but it lets you pick how your blog appears on the collaborative main site.

This update moved the settings, making it so much easier for me to implement, but also meant that blogs have default options when created instead of the old issues where unless you saved your settings you’d not have the options and blah blah blah geek talk.

Yay for progress! Well, at the moment the options don’t do anything aside from saving to the database. But when I finish the new front page design (shouldn’t take long, just hacking the current one) then it’ll be working :)

FYI, did you know you can make your own backups? Yep, if you want to ditch this blog or want to save a backup for your own peace of mind just do it through the Tools -> Export page.

EDIT @ 1:16am: Updated the blog list widget in the side bar, this now listens to the options so if you choose to hide yourself it’ll be hidden. This widget can also be displayed on your own blogs, just enable the plugin through the plugins page and then drag/drop the widget on the page.
