Re: [orca-list] new orca list e-mail subscribers



Come on, Jude. I make my living running email & listserv servers. I've been managing a data center plus 2 computer labs for decades. I'm sure plenty of other people on this list have similar work experience. You shouldn't still be struggling with the results of a power outage months later. Heck, that wouldn't happen with the server I run out of my basement. No matter how you spin it, their systems seem a lot more vulnerable than some of us are comfortable with.

File systems are never the only consideration once a power outage hits.
The other consideration is damage to equipment which will happen with
power spikes on the way to that power outage.  A U.P.S. may or may not be
a good investment depending on the contract you get with it.
An XT computer I had was online to a bbs when a trouble call hit my phone
number and computer.  It cost over $1,000 to get it repaired after that
incident.  When a trouble call happens on a landline, the phone company
sends 25 volts through the line and computers don't like that kind of
power coming to them over a modem line.

I don't know... Once the power comes back on, you should be back to normal
within minutes. Modern file systems don't lose integrity because of a power
outage.  Not to mention the fact that they are apparently in some place that
has frequent power outages.

It seems less than ideal but maybe it is the best we can do at this point.
