I backup my ubb weekly, now daily because I feel that what my users posts are so crucial that the world would colapse without their text.

During a recent backup (I tar the ubb folder) I got an error message:
..../Members/00001417.cgi unknown file type file ignored. Thats a standard server response for a bad file.

I browsed the Members directory and saw that the Member file 00001417.cgi was missing. All other member files appear to be in sequential order with that one missing. That dude is lost. Rebuild members or leave alone???

Also - My board has several hundred thousand posts (many archived) since 2002. An uncompressed UBB folder is 750MEG in size. Sound reasonable? Thats with cache cleared. A compressed tar squashed down to 75M in size.

When I figure out how to get my mysql working Im going to switch. Until then 6.7.0 has to do.
