I’m going to delay restoring the complete site right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first steps I decided to take was to set up a daily backup of the Website and all configuration data. I remember now why I had no backup when the old Server drives died…. IIS has no practical backup process without third party software and even then there are caveats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would a Major Corporation release and continue to develop a “WebServer” that cannot be backed up???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’m going to bite the bullet now and move the site to a Linux Server running Apache which I’ve wanted to do for a couple years. With the old site dying as it did this is an ideal time. Full site will be down a while longer, at least a few weeks maybe a bit longer, but in the long run it will be much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve run a lot of servers over my career and Linux server are always more reliable and secure than Windows. It will take me some time since I’ll have to buy another server, drives and then get it all delivered and installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Been a while since I installed a Linux and Apache system but it comes back with a little tinkering and puttering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where things stand right now. Since there’s no contact page on this stub site feel free to contact me at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
