LS,
When a backup/restore process is running, usually there is some indication as to progress.
Is there any information that can be shared about the problem, causes and what the likely
scenario is.
* causes of the database corruption
* estimated time for completion
* estimated time to check the database after the restore
* estimated time of general availability
As to a drive to get more money, one of the critisisms on /. was that a figure had been
given but that it was not clear how we came on that figure. The result was that people on
/. came with all kinds of "well intended" advice.
Now a figure of 100k $ is mentioned; this is 5 times larger that the previous 20k. We are
in the process of implementing the new hardware; what was wrong in the previous figures.
Possibly wikipedia-l is not the right forum, if so what is?
Thanks,
GerardM
