Drupal database corrupted

Submitted by cubex on Wed, 09/09/2009 - 17:12.
Sorry folks, I've been very busy lately and I just noticed the mysql database was badly corrupted on Sept. 6th, 2009. The database is updated daily, but all the backups on Sept. 6th and after are unusable. I think the only post lost was Tom Rokicki's.

I try my best to make sure everything is working but this one slipped through the cracks. Somehow the mysql database ballooned in size to over 2 gigabytes. After that happened the subsequent databases were not backed up correctly.

It would be a good idea for any posts to be buffered in some way before uploading to the forum, especially long ones.

Thanks everyone,
Mark

mysql database attacked again

The database was attacked again and bad stuff was added on March 13th 2010. I have reverted back to March 12th's backup. Bruce's last message was the only casualty, sorry Bruce!
