    From Solaris@21:1/101 to All on Saturday, September 27, 2025 06:13:57
    Well imma gonna tell ya how its going

    9/6/25 Found corrupted Hub core files, system did not backup, restored from a week old backup

    9/13/25 Another corruption, drive scanned good, replaced drive, restored from yet another week old backup. cant set cryptlib to work. reinstall C++ files and
    fixed cryptlib

    9/20/25 Complaints of mail not moving start coming in, found someone had uploaded a huge file to the HUB locking up many nodes. purge junk files and delete huge file from outbound folders mail starts to flow

    9/24/25 complaints for connection errors and bad passwords start coming in, review node setups and verify passwords, many emails back and fourth fearing I may need to rebuild the entire hub.

    9/25/25 Find binkp and telnet ports closed on host computer for the hub. Spent hours trying to get ports open, check router settings, ports are in the list, factory reset router, setup all ports, still can not get Hub computer ports open. restart computer............. ports open.....

    Out of interest what software are you using to make your backups? It might be that the backup software is doing the damage?

    I use Veeam's free backup agent on my system's, and it's got Corruption detection built in.

    I've tested restores for various systems and they all have given me a working system.
