Default October previous months statements not captured

Unfortunately, the process which does nightly backups for the statements ran about 20 minutes too late and the statements for October 2008 were already rolled over to November. As a result, I am unable to post the October 2008 trading history for the EA's currently being tested.

I will be modifying the process to capture these statements automatically from now on.

Even if the last day of October (the 31st) rolled into November and was not backed up, if you have backed up all your other statements nightly just including the months results up through October 30th will still be quite helpful, certainly more helpful then no statement at all.

I agree, believe me. However, at the time that this occurred I used the web server backup system. On the first of the month I would then go through the archive and find each statement, extract it, and save it back to the web server and to the folder for each EA. However, this particular month I was unable to get to the statements before the backup system ran the following day which erased the previously saved statements. There's nothing I can do about that now. Bottom line that was a bad system because it required human intervention .

However, I built a new system now which copies, renames, and saves the statements every 15 minutes automatically, and it updates the thread with the new statement automatically, and it links to multiple statements automatically. You can't get much better than that! Therefore this won't happen again.
