Yes, perhaps the entire archive (if there is one) could be placed on a couple of mirror sites and updated regularly. Does anyone know if the old Harvard MGH(?) database still exists?

But that way, at least if the actual site is down, people would be able to search on the mirror site; I've been with BT1 long enough to know that most times people can find answers to their queries or problems just by searching.

The main problem at present regarding the database is what's called in the Far East, "The man with the key isn't there" syndrome. I.E., everything depends on just one person who's never there - the phrase comes from visits to, predominantly, mainland China, where anytime you need to do something, (amost anything, actually) it's somehow locked up and the man with the key isn't there.

As far as I can see, the software/human resources setup at BT1 is: a Chief and several Indians, hardware setup is: one part-time wandering Chief.
And the database which, as you imply is priceless, resides in a hacker's garage. (I hope someone will tell me I'm wrong about that).

All a bit of a worry.
All the best
