All,

Backups:  Drupal Mid November 2025 backups were successful.  I am still working out getting all admins access to file backups, which has proven to be a little more challenging then initially thought.  Having changed the DNS (Domain Name Server) and IP (Internet Protocol) address, this change caused the auto transfer program SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) authentication to fail.  Will need to generate another SSH (Secure Shell) pair between the two servers that are involved in transferring the backup files.  Just have been a little too busy recently to get this set up.   The backup files were manually transferred to the backup server for now, until the automated process and access the the files is corrected.

All,

Backups: Drupal End of September 2025 backups were successful.  The back-up VPS server for file backups was moved to another server.  This was a major change, since the operating system was changed from Ubuntu 24.04 to Debian 12.  By about the first week of October, I should have all the bugs worked out of the new VPS server and should be able to automatically transfer Drupal and Database files weekly using CRON (Command Run On Notice) jobs.

All,

Backups: Drupal Mid September 2025 backups were successful. As a heads up, I will be changing the VPS vendor for the file back-up site (nuestrosranchos.net)  by the end of the month. There likely will be some changes in order to access the file backups, passwords ...etc, which I will provide when the switch has  been completed. The site OS (Operating System) will be changed to Debian instead of Ubuntu, which will require a complete change to the site. In the meantime, the backups will remain stored on the nuestrosranchos.org site, and also downloaded locally to my home backup system. The nuestrosranchos.org site does perform daily backups, so the back-up data is available, if needed for site restoration purposes.
