  1. Messag ???
  2. I think it's the other way around as this will be new equipment when it goews central. Another point with SIMS is no one as any idea of the rate that these backups will expand. We have small school with huge Docstorages and large schools with huge SQLs.
  3. Sounds incompetant to me. But I'm sure it's not
  4. I agree to a certain extent, the question though is how far back do you go? Sod's Law says it's always a day before your earliest backup. With the 'Missing' conduct, that is not exactly a data loss problem, also how many hours and how many retores would you have to do to get to the 'lost' data?
  5. Im thinking about SIMS here but it may be relavant to other MIS's. We are looking at our backup regime very closely. Also thinking ahead to central hosting next year. How long to keep the backups? Restoring anything over a couple of days IMHO is not desirable do to the amount of data input during time after the backup was taken. We keep about approx 10 days worth (not weekends) on the secondary disk of the ancient servers. 8 backups on a central backup server. What about the summer holiday? My arguement is that as the database is still being backed up each week day backups older than the 6 week holiday would not be necessary. There is talk of saving 6 months worth of backups, I see no point in restoring this far back. Arguements for and against and suggestions most welcome. I see this as a big problem and both separate and different to the usual system backups.
  6. Lactic acid.
  7. Am i right in saying that would be okay for the future but would not overwrite the ones already imported?
  8. Once a field is populated in SIMS the CTF is designed to ignore it, for good reason. So manual editing is the only way I'm afraid.
  9. It would be a hell of a lot quicker to manually edit the fields, why bother with reimporting the XML? A CTF will not overwrite. EDIT: The CTF could well be right and the sending school had the data wrong.
  10. I've had that for ages. What I understand is that this is suggestions, whereas the new search is results, appearing as it would do as you hit enter from the search window.
  11. interesting, how about f 11:11:11 11/11/11 or sooner 10:10:10 10/10/10
  12. Does that do speech?

  15. 100 grand shortfall would suggest she was underinsured.
  16. Not the point, but yeh, too right I would. It's what unions are for.
  17. Quote 'A retired schools inspector is suing her former employer' Unless she retired after the fire.
  18. Isn't there a clue in the word 'retired'. Why hadn't she returned the government owned laptop?
  19. Has to include Zulu. I was at the filming site in February.
  20. That was last weekend's Buckyball that caused the problem not today's load of balls. I have got it at home now. My theory is that Apple is a load of ........ and they can't touch Google.
  21. Just up the M5 I'm on iGoogle, not sure if that is why. Tried logging out but still can't see it on IE7 or Chrome.
  22. You have to be on a later IE and also on .co.uk, as far as I know.
  23. It seems there are different doodles for different countries, shame I can't see it. .fr .ru .de
  24. Keep wondering, there seems to be a lot of doubt about that. I've not seen it live yet but is this the same, better or worse? Google's Bouncing Balls | HTML5 Canvas | Rob Hawkes
  25. How many birthdays does the average person have? 1 Some people are saying it is actually for Chrome's 2nd anniversary.
