Ironically, the MySQL server crash came only two or three hours before the database was going to be backed up again. We're also working on things from the server end, and may get a slave server for the main database server, which should act as a load balancer.

			Well, now that I think about it, like you say the data loss was rather minimal. You guys are doing better than Cyclons, who flew their only hub around with almost no security. You'd think they'd install a hub on each of their occupied planets, or something? Out of curiosity, do you know if such losses have happened on Wikia, or if they have safeguards as well?

	How can such a thing happen? Five whole days of editing, gone... I heard this happened once at Memory Alpha. What safeguards are in place to prevent whole wikis from being lost? Also, the link you provided said it affected all wikis, but nothing seems to have gone wrong at my primary watering hole, [http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wiki 24]. Were Wikia wikis exempt?
