Yes I agree, it would more of a problem so perhaps we should just look to implement a black plan that everyone agrees on. So me and Brett are both making incremental backups of daily tar files from Jonathan. If others want to it can't hurt. Next is backing up the list data. Who has a backup of this? (Other than Jonathan if we assume he already does, as our problems would start if Jonathan went walkabout never to return).
Well any of the list admins (there are a few) could get a list of current subscribers manually. Archives are available to all as gzipped files and to be honest backup of these needn't be kept 100% up to date because recent messages will already exist in multiple mailboxes amongst the subscribers, as I say I have back to 2003 in a more or less complete state and I can't be the only one.
