Hi all,
Just a heads-up: There was a 12 minute outage between 2014-04-06 08:50:07
and 09:02:07 UTC. I was moving an EC2 instance onto a newer instance type
and I forgot to remove the EC2-ephemeral-disk /tmp from my /etc/fstab file
-- so when I restarted the instance it dropped into single-user
Hi thanks to Colin for making tarsnap!
Perhaps this mail belongs on a MySQL list, but as this should be a fairly
common use case for tarsnap users, I hope a tarsnap+mysql best practice has

I have 2 issues remaining that keep puzzling me, maybe someone can
point out what I'm doing wrong?

As my internet connection is far from optimal -- to put it mildly --
and power outages also frequently occur with a duration that even a UPS
equipped with a 12V, 65Ah car battery can't cope with, some kind of
'continue where left off' for the -x option for single large file
recoveries would be
