OpenPKSD can run very quick full back up and quick recover from disk crash because PostgreSQL is used for a back-end database of OpenPKSD. Full dump time, included over 1.8 million public keys, is finished in 12 minutes under Pentium 4 1.6GHz machine. Reloading time of key from back-up data is finished in 28 minutes. If you want to make a copy of OpenPKSD keyserver, you can finish it in 30 minutes. It is a good when you move current keyserver contents onto new machine. After OpenPKSD installation on new site, you can copy whole of database from old site, as bellow.

(Database is NOT created yet.)
% ssh newsite "(source /openpksd/Env ; createdb $DBNAME)"
% openpksd_dump.sh | ssh newsite "(source /openpksd/Env ; psql -d $DBNAME -f - -q)"

Next release will be after April or May because I have been making the experimental OpenPKSD until end of March. That study is about cluster system of keyserver. But this is a perfectly prototype system, not good for usual use for public keyserver. I hope that this system can show the load map to the future of OpenPGP public keyservers. I hope I can put my HKP balancer into next release package.
