You very good traveller, like Catalan Dani Serralta. But this time you no right. I too, I lost 7 fotos from Park Guell, in Barcelona. I am old (born 1926), my friend help me with ordinator because I do not understand new machines. I lost 3 hours time. No problem, soon I try again to put this 7 fotos of Barcelona. You have wonderful web site in Polish and english "www.7continent" and Globo gives propaganda for free, Globo is good place to promote your web site. Thanks to Globo I discover and read your site, very good with many fotos of all the world. Thanks to Globo club many people discover you are very good traveller, like Catalan Dani Serralta. You owe very much to Globo club. Your words not nice against Globo. You have time. No problem, you write again Travel Log, you are young. I read it yesterday, very good, you have birthday in Tokyo, congratulations, you are Capricorn, like my son. Please, no angry and write again Travel Log and request sorry to Mister administrator.

Thanks for the explanation... I am not an server expert but I am surprised - I was thinking that such a serious website like GS makes a backup of all data stored by members at least one per 24 hours... Dissappointing...

While doing a backup on such a huge data amount you have to consider several parameters. For example how long it takes to create the backup and how long it takes to bring it back in. GLOBO consists of several hundred thousand files, a backup on such a complex system is not as easy as doing one for example on a home computer. For example it takes up to 6 hours of processing time to create an update while globo is in that time running on a lower speed. Of cource we could do incremental backups each day, but there it becomes extremly complex to get it all together in case of using the backup in case of damage. There are so many parameters which will be affected and different backup files in such a case that the chance of a irreperable backup will increase. The way globo handles it, has allowed it to bring globo back to live within less than 20 minutes! And with data that is 100% correct. You never know this if you do a daily incremental backup. Since in that case the backup would consist out of incremental parts. If one part failes the whole backup might be unusable. I consider this to much of a risk. We are now operating GLOBO for almost 5 years and this data loss is the first one in that long history. We never needed a backup before. This is a trade of. Of course we risk to loose up to 6 days in case of a damage, but on the other site it allowes GLOBO to run more smoothly (processor power during backup), it allows to get the backup extremly fast installed, and it is 100% reliable. While creating the backup system we decided to go with a 7 day backup and I believe this was a good choice to make. Best regards, Andy Reply    Reply with quote    Contact andreas
