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!
