Brendon,

I started digging, and realized that I could re-enable the archive 
without much work, so it's started archiving the raw DDPLUS and HDS 
feeds, one file per hour, again as it used to, starting about 5 minutes 
ago. This won't help you for your last weekend's outage, but it should 
be able to get you through the next one.  I'll have to let it run for a 
bit to see how long of a history I can keep. If I recall, before it was 
something like a week's worth of archive.

The ftp site (f5.aos.wisc.edu) is restricted to known IP addresses, so 
if you/anyone else wants access, please email me with the IP number you 
will be coming in from, so I can add it to the allowed hosts.

The username (iddftp) and password should be the same as it ever was. 
Anyone who needs the password please email me.

Pete
