Rather have 10 minutes off the air than lose the lot with a blown server or similar. We actually have a number of backups running often, that's why sometimes it may be a little slow getting on for a few minutes. They don't take long and are essential.

In the early days we used to back up weekly and actually lost a lot of posts a couple of times. Since Steven took over as Administrator a number of years ago we haven't lost any more than a day at the most now we could at worst lose a few hrs of posts in the worst case scenario.
