connection can be established. This page can be used for uptime
monitoring.

frequent backups of the database. Refer to the documentation of the

Make backups of the entire Opinio folder structure. Preferably
backups with history, so that the state of the application can be
rolled back in time to fix problems, look at log files etc.
- Monitor your server.
Monitor your server for potential problems, such as memory usage,
disk usage, network bandwidth usage, processor usage, etc. Needless
to say, Opinio relies on a stable server.
