Yeah, that was a way of getting the backup off-site and onto Pythonlabs'
backup tapes. It seems we need them now.

Barry, would you be able to find some copies of these files:

   jython-faqw.tgz
   jython-moin.tgz

I'm not entirely sure when the backup should be from, but on oct. 9,
SourceForge added a note about how each project have to do their own
backups. I guess that the backup have to be from sometime before oct. 9
to have any usefull data on it. The compined size of the two files
should be bigger then 34Kb.

Well, the backup only creates the .tgz files at
   http://www.jython.org/backups

Once in a while, Barry then copies them to tape. 

There is no support for multiple backups or generations in the simple
copy scheme that I use. The next day the cron job is executed, the
previous backup is overridden.

If the problem of "rm -fr" is something that will happen again and
again, we have to improve our backup mechanism. I certainly can't bug
Barry every time.
