In order to prevent catastrophic loss of data, maintaining offsite backups of Mises Wiki is a sound idea. As of 2009, the server used RAID 1, which mirrors all content on another hard drive; while this provides a backup in case one hard drive fails, it does not protect against accidental and malicious deletions. As of 2009, a backup of the Mises database with confidential data stripped out was available here, at least to those whose IP addresses had been added to the whitelist:[1] Backups are also made at least as often as MediaWiki is upgraded.
