Re: A few subjects backfilled

The week's question

In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you're doing that many rolling / incremental backups, consider a standby.

The post data doesn't change, so post is created, second backup created, second backup deleted after 10 days as it overlaps the weekly full backups. It is rolling in effect because the records are immutable, but there's only one extra add and one extra delete per post and a few other structures. All good.
