Greetings! Mailing list dictator here <dramatic pause for effect>. The tclug archives (well all the mailing list archives on list server) have grown large enough -and- the tclug list (and all other other lists) are busy enough that it's becoming difficult to get a clean backup of the archives. Technical sideline: Mailman is kind of dorky, it stores all the archives in mbox format. Yes, 1 huge-ass file. So, I'm in the middle of backing up this 1.0Gb (yes, that is the size of some of the archives) a new message comes in and it gets append to the mbox file. Oops! BRU freaks on the check because the file changed from the time it started to write the file to tape until the time it finished writing the file to tape. So, I'm going to suspend processing mail message from 3am - 5am. The backup kicks off at 3:02am and has been finishing around 4:45am. This should give us a clean backup.
