And depending on where you live you could add until someone walks in and walks away with your server (and all of your user's data on it).

- chopsueyar 16y agoAs opposed to some government agency taking a hosting provider's server, and you happen to be on the same VPS as the "suspect"?
- duck 16y agoWell, according to this article [1] a burglary happens every 15 seconds. I highly doubt any government agency is that efficient, but even if it did happen and you have a backup you could be back live in a couple minutes. Just like the scalability comments below allude to, the key is having the infrastructure right and then everything else is easier.

- chopsueyar 16y agoActually, I think the key is what you just mentioned... backup.
- duck 16y agoA backup won't do you any good if you don't have something to restore it to, so that is why I said infrastructure is the key.
- chopsueyar 16y agoInfrastructure won't do you any good if you don't have a backup, like you mentioned in your GP post.
- lsc 16y agoworst comes to worst, I can walk into frys and throw together something shitty. (note, I don't recommend running prod. on Fry's hardware... just saying, if you said I needed a server in two hours, I could do it.) if your data is gone, well, I can't help you.
