Everything should be working again, otherwise send me an email or write a comment.

By using the crontab command to run a series of scripts, the process creates a tar file (a compressed file) with all the files for a given domain and a tar file with the MySQL database data.

To secure the backup you need to download the tar files. For this purpose the tutorial includes both a script for Windows (using a batch file and Scheduled Tasks) and Linux (using SSH and crontab) to download the files to your own computer on a regular basis.

Read the entire Automatic Backup article in the DreamHost Wiki and find related articles in the new Backup category.

By present is now ready, and it’s something I’ve wished for myself for a long time…

While creating the forum stats, I found myself parsing a lot of the forum data, and thought that the data could easily be outputted as a RSS feed. A feed would make it possible to track new posts and replies in the forums, without being logged in to the forum all the time.

I’ve now used the feed myself for a couple of days, and I’m quite satisfied with it. I thought it might be useful for someone else, so here it is:
The Unofficial DreamHost Discussion Forum RSS Feed.

The feed is updated every 5 minuttes (if any changes has been made) and contains title, url, category and username for all forum posts within the last 48 hours. It’s hosted by FeedBurner in order to secure greater compatibility and to unburden my server (in case it gets popular).

Please let me know if it’s working for you, or if you have any suggestions for improvements of the feed.

Currently links to articles in the old Knowledge Base are directed to the frontpage with a link to the Wiki, but hopefully DreamHost will map the old URLs to the Wiki sooner or later.
