[Cpptool-develop] Our wiki was vandalized...

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

The mail below was forwarded on the boost ML, and it seems that our wiki is
also among the victims. All world writable files in cpptool/htdocs were
erased. This includes the htdocs/wiki directory content.

At the current time, I've been able to retrieve the
CodeAnalysisForRefactoring page from my web browser cache. I'll try to see
if I can find some more on my computer at work.

Any help to retrieve more would be welcome (I'd really like to get the
ParserOverview and CppRefactorings page). This can be done by searching for
the browser cache on the computer you used to browse the wiki. On Windows,
this is usually in Documents and Settings\$YourUserName$\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files.

Keyword that can be use for the search:
ASTNode
SourceASTNode
ParserOverview
RenameTemporary
ReduceTemporaryScope
ExtractMethod
RenamePrivateField

If you find some of our wiki pages, please post them. I'll try to
reconstruct the Wiki from this.

To my knowledge, we can't protect the wiki data files from being world
writable, so it would be wise to come up with a regular backup solution.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Baptiste.

Steven Knight provided me with a partial solution. I was able to retrieve a
15 days old backup. I've put it online for now at:
http://cpptool.sourceforge.net/backup/

I'm turning in for now. I'll see if I can restore the wiki tomorrow.

Baptiste.

I installed the backup, so the Wiki is running again. I'm trying to figure 
out a way to make automatic backups.

Starting from last night, I'm making nightly backups of the htdocs 
directory. I'm keeping two copies around, so we should be able to recover 
from "accidents" at the wiki if we discover them within 24 hours. 

I'll devise a more intelligent, incremental backup system later this week.

Great !

I was able to retrieve a recent version of the CppRefactoring page (in html)
from my web cache at work. I'll update the wiki as soon as I can (need heavy
reformatting).

Baptiste.

Sven, I hope you kept up with the backup. This has happened again :-(

htdocs/wiki is empty.

I have a backup but it's a really old one.

Baptiste.
