• Corrupted Mail Tosser

    From Mike Dippel@454:1/393 to All on Thu Mar 12 08:39:28 2026
    My iRex tosser got corrupted one week agao and I had to rebuild the database.
    I just noticed that I didn't have iLink configured at all. I just set it up and did a manual poll.
    I did receive old packets so I guess it is back working again.

    Hopefully this message makes it through.

    Good news: it did! Now go make a master backup and keep it separate from
    the daily backups.

    Good idea. I will probably just zip up the entire Directory to ensure that everything is available. I will make sure to shut it down first before I do.

    Hi Mike!

    My iRex tosser got corrupted one week agao and I had to rebuild
    the database. I just noticed that I didn't have iLink configured
    Now go make a master backup and keep it separate from
    the daily backups.

    ensure that everything is available. I will make sure to shut it
    down first before I do.

    And then figure out how to automate the backup process. (Where's that
    tagline about "you want to see last year's backup or the year before"?!)
