Praise the Lord!
About a week ago, something horrible happened to my Adkoc website. After a server crash, I found that every subdirectory on the site had been deleted (strange, but true, as all of the root files still existed, but everything else was gone). The major bummer in all of this was that I hadn’t yet made a local backup of this site. You see, a bunch of work was done using Pivot (a wonderful little blogging tool/CMS), which means that a lot of the work was done online (not on my computer). And since Pivot stores all of its entries in a flat-file database…those were gone too.
I was pretty depressed about it all.
As of yesterday, I had been waiting for an e-mail back from my webhost to see if they had a backup of my site. Yesterday, I received the e-mail and the answer wasn’t good: they said that they did not have a backup. By this point, though, I was pretty much over my initial shock and depression and I figured that I would have to rebuild the site anyway. I didn’t want to — anytime soon for sure — but I knew I’d have to.
Then, last night, I received another e-mail from my webhost telling me that my website backup would be uploaded and available to me by this morning!
Wha…?!
And they came through for me! Everything that had been lost was restored from a backup made the night before the crash.
I am happier than I can tell you.
If you haven’t seen my other site yet, you should head over there and check it out.
