Hoi, Yes. You are right. But having a strategy starts with basics. Having full backups and moving them of the premises. The next part, having a working environment is a next step.
Did you consider what it means when a government takes hold of the domain? How we are to change the registration so that it points to a different IP address. The point is that when we need this we are in real hot water and we have to prepare for this.
So let us have a backup and then take the next step; know where it is and what scenarios there are we want to prepare for. Thanks, GerardM

Hi Pine,
Thanks for raising this task. There is more to a disaster plan than just smuggling backups of the content itself out though. The projects have grown to a size now where they cannot be run by some guy out of his garage using a backup; we need to think about how we can move or protect things like server operations, organisational support, and other "real world" activities in the event that it's no longer possible to continue with business as usual.
As I said, I hope that there is a document somewhere internally within the Foundation where they have considered this scenario and how they'd react to it. Now might be a good time for them to dust off that document and review it, just in case.
Cheers, Craig Franklin
