changes that happened recently:

== Tip of the Month - Database Backup Service ==

Did you know that we provide database backups as an extra service for NATS?
For a nominal charge, our backup service will take a snapshot of your NATS install
and back it up on a secure, off-site server farm.  If for some reason your server
ever fails, you can simply contact us and we will recover your data from the latest
backup.

Full details can be found here:
