Hello,

With regards to the data backup policy, we now take a weekly copy of the daily site backup from North America straight to my home in Hong Kong. Turns out this is going to be the best approach, compared to adding extra servers on the data center, as even if the data center company goes ka poof, I still have my data with me.

Since there's also a real time site to site dedicated VPN channel between the two locations, the next step would be to setup an asynchronous MySQL slave at home. Then the next step would be a DNS and web server here also so if the primary site in North America goes down, I can still have some control serving web pages, despite the capacity in doing so is much reduced.

So yeah that'd be the road map as a FYI.

Titus
