May I suggest that if you are going to do this that Meredydd sets up a
script that tarballs the site every night so you can get the data as it
should be and then you can download the tar ball.

I really think this should be mirrored on the new server meredydd and if
we have issues with that getting all it's bandwidth eaten then either I
buy more bandwidth or I put it on edNET, there has to be some advantage
for working at an isp :)

Just a few suggestions.
