We have now at last got the automated backup for the live site working on an hourly basis. There are still a couple of things that we’re waiting for to do with the networks to allow us to have a complete mirror site working for both the research and backup site, but the actual data is all now on an hourly backup cycle. The remaining network things should hopefully be sorted out today which will mean that we should have the research copy of the site up in the next few days.

On the maintenance front, I spent some time rewriting the role checking code for S159 students which should now mean no more problems with students not being assigned the correct privileges. It does mean that the code runs a bit more frequently than I’d wanted but this doesn’t impact on the user experience.
