It’s all gone.

Yes. All gone. P00f.

Almost 700 worth of postings have vanished. 4 years of memories. Erased.

Read story here for reference.

I was completely unaware that something this catastrophic could happen. I didn’t back up at all. So smart, right?

What I can do is, manually re-post all the cached posts by Google. Nah, I don’t think so.

Just keeping my fingers crossed that the unreliable hosting company could at least restore 60% of data. I’m not even hoping for 100%.

By the way, I’ve changed to a local server (https://www.ipserverone.com, very prompt and helpful and reasonably priced, thanks CLL!), which is also serving KimKomm.com. Things should load much faster now.

Oh well, at least now I’ll have no excuse to delay the site revamping.

Remember people, backup your blogs. It could happen to you too.

  1. You can install one of those plugins where it does the backup automatically (frequency you set, I set mine once a week) then it emails you the file.

  2. Wow, this sucks. The harddisk on the previous server I was on failed twice. I lost a few posts and comments but those were recoverable. Hope you get to recover some of your posts.

  3. ipserverone isn’t bad, but sometimes i face down times. not sure whether it’s their servers or something else coz sometimes it’s only one subdomain which is down.. haha weird.

    anyways, good choice to move to a better hosting. =)

  4. Lucky I backup once every 2 days :P I went thru those missing entries also… But what the hell, 4 years 700 posts? Aiya, now you can make 700 posts within the next few months liaw la… :lol:
