Rework Backup task #90

Closed mrdavidlaing closed 11 years ago

Make NonArchivePeriod a config option
Is S3 the right place?
What period of data do we need accessible?

mrdavidlaing commented 12 years ago

Another alternative is to just rely on the nightly AMI creation backup job for the whole server. Moving stuff to S3 doesn't have any advantage in terms of data safety (AMIs are stored on S3 anyway); and getting at the data on S3 is more of a hassle

fandrei commented 11 years ago

Works for me. Then, we remove S3 backup?

mrdavidlaing commented 11 years ago

Agreed. Remove S3 backup. Easiest code to maintain is code you have deleted :)

What about zipping of old log files; should I keep scheduler task for this, or make it built into AppMetrics website?

mrdavidlaing commented 11 years ago

I'd say keep it as a separate command line tool that can be called via the scheduler.

My experience of trying to get long running tasks working in the context of IIS just a hassle.
