Database lost?

[jcfiala]

Geographic diversity and personal budgets stand in your way. My last house couldn't even get DSL and it was in a well-populated area of the city. I could get ISDN or I could get cable internet access. I don't watch much television and just to get hooked up for cable internet was $60+/month. In short, not an expense I would want to afford.

I've got cable internet and a 200 GB external hard drive for my birthday. I'm willing to help on setting up some better way of backing up data. I've worked with mySQL, Microsoft SQL, and PHP in the past.

I'd do monthly backups and maybe (if possible) bi-weekly partial backups of the subforums only, where the content is more trouble to lose (pbp, story hours and stuff like that).

I guess the long time for the backup is not because of the transition speed for 2 gigs, but rather for the backup data to be created by the db.
