Got a description of backup-recovery safety in Kitely?

[Selby Evans]

RAID failures, down times, and data-loss threats have alarmed many in Opensim. Is there a web page (say, in the Kitely blog) that I could point to describing the backup protection Kitely has?

Hi Selby,

Our data is stored in Amazon S3 which automatically copies that data to multiple Amazon datacenters. In addition, we make daily backups and store them using different security credentials so that a website hacker wouldn't be able to delete all our data even if he or she got full access to our system.

That is a lot more secure and robust than relying on any single RAID solution or even on multiple ones in the same datacenter.

You can point people to this forums post until we add this answer to a more prominent location.

Thanks, will do.
