19 | This service has been designed with reliability in mind; we utilize RAID, live server mirroring and periodic offline backups to ensure data reliability. |
20 | However, the SIPB MySQL service should not be used to host critical applications that cannot tolerate downtime. | |
21 | One nightly backup is available for your locker at <code>/mit/sql/backup/LOCKER_NAME</code>. You should perform additional backups of your data using the <a href="http://scripts.mit.edu/cron">shortjobs service</a> or <a href="http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/10/how-can-i-back-up-or-restore-my-sql-data">phpMyAdmin</a>. | |
