I've finally got­ten off my lazy ass and imple­mented data­base back­ups. I don't move enough data to worry about some­thing overkill like data­base repli­ca­tion and dump­ing, so I am just falling back on WipeOut's Auto­Mysql­Backup script.

Addi­tion­ally, I had no idea that there was a robust fork of webal­izer, named aww­full. It's got a few extra fea­tures but the thing that inter­ested me was that it seems to be in the mid­dle of active devel­op­ment. I installed it so that Rick could start fol­low­ing the traf­fic spike his "sev­er­ance" is cur­rently caus­ing, but I like it enough that I may install it for my domains (and offer it to the sites I host) as well. It's no Urchin (now called Google Ana­lyt­ics) or Mint, but it's free and they're absolute overkill for what's going on with this vir­tu­al­ized server right now.

Hooray for some­one else doing the dirty work for me!
