[thesite] Site backups

[Madhu Menon]

I'm just curious. What's our disaster management and recovery policy 
regarding evolt.org code, lists, etc.?
(sorry for sounding so CMM-ish).

For example, is the site's HTML code/CMS code/server config. 
documentation/db schema etc. archived somewhere so that in case the server 
explodes or there's a fire (hopefully won't happen), there's a way of 
recovering it?

Ditto with the list of evolt subscribers for thelist, thesite, theforum, etc.

I remember that A List Apart's subscriber base got wiped out when they had 
major problems with their web hosting provider. That killed a well-known 
mailing list with a few thousand subscribers. Wouldn't want something 
similar to happen to us :(

I'm sure someone like Martin will now chime in with standard corporate 
policies regarding data storage, offsite backups, etc. ;)

Regards,

Madhu
