Radio UserLand: The Missing Manual

So, after a month or so, Radio finally decides to work for me. I thought the saveCopyOpenDatabases script I ran had something to do with it but apparantely not. Where does this leave me?

I have a working Radio install once again. By that I mean I can now upstream files as expected. However, I'm left not quite trusting my Radio. I want to trust my Radio. I won't be Compacting Data Files any time soon for fear of a lockup. I don't trust my backups because I never could get Radio to recognize them after performing a clean reinstall.

What to do? Well, for starters, I'm going to get a lot better about backups. I'm not going to rely on Radio's built-in backup mechanism. Somehow I've got to find a reliable means to backup what's important to me and I've got to do some restore testing to make sure it actually works. Any advice on this is appreciated. And I'll share what I learn and do here on the missing manual, of course.

I'm not going to spend too much more time on this since I've got to get back to work on non Radio related issues, believe it or not. As a result of this whole debacle, I did learn about some excellent Radio resources and I even got UserLand to fix a few typos on a few of their help pages. The result of my research will soon appear on this site under an easy to find link called Radio 911.

Thanks for following along. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

"Here's the scenario. You've just moved your weblog or news site, and the RSS feed has moved too. You want people who are subscribed to your RSS feed to automatically start reading the feed at its new location. This document explains how to do that."

Steve Kirks added multiple users to the top of his Radio wishlist.

"Irwin posted a note on the Radio discussion group asking for a version of Radio for multiple users. This just got moved to the top of my feature wish list, even though the request will be hard to implement."

I agree. A multiple user version of Radio would be awesome.
