It looks like StSC befell a security issue and this has been resolved. The buttons were globally being diverted to the most annoying malware and spyware advertisements. I hope nobody clicked any of those buttons. I didn't because I believe most of them grant permission for add on apps.

Some times I even wonder if the malware is an advertising campaign for malware prevention apps.

Very refreshing! Oh you can bet on that advertising campaign.

I am surely happy this site is back up.

Thanks for your hard work. StSC was missed! Are the backups being done daily now so no data is ever lost again?

I am hoping to begin backing up the site as an off-site backup as well. So yes, provision will be made for multiple backups so that we can preserve information - as to daily that is a bit much but maybe bi-weekly. We will see.

Thank you MJ.

One problem was that it would appear to backup, taking the time to download the entire 1Gb+ file and then give a little failure notice at the end. It was part of the script failure I think. So we were probably making periodic backups and thinking they were being saved to disk, when they were not.
