Back up your blog
So the last few days have been a nightmare. While moving some files around on the server, I deleted some files accidentally, and in one fell swoop my blog, my site and a whole bunch of other data and test spaces went poof.
I had the blog backed up on the server – and luckily I backup my WordPress databases locally whenever there is a new WordPress release during my upgrade process. So I had a backup of the sql db. But getting it restored proved to be another mission. When I did get it back up, my theme was gone as were all the embedded images and videos.
Frustration
But I can’t complain – I have everything up to December 14, 2008 and I can salvage the little I posted subsequent to that from the feeds I had. Apologies for the subscriber feeds of the “Hello World!” message from the WordPress setup and today’s email with all of the posts. At least I had them backed up. Now I will slowly recreate the images and get back up to speed.

Shocked! Feel for you! Hope you can manage to resurrect your stuff
