Hard Drive Failed

Tags: rant

And so everything that I have online is gone. Thank you so much HostNDezign. No, you don’t deserve a freaking link from here.

Thanks to myself for being so dumb as to do a home backup and not a database backup as well.

Sorry lovey, your entries are gone too 😥

Can everyone whom I linked from here kindly drop a comment to tell me that I’ve linked you once? I lost my links, as you can see.

I wish so much to yell Damn you! How can you not even compensate? but I realise it is rather pointless.

So I’ll just cry inwardly.

I’m sorry about you losing everything. My laptop broke a while ago, and I lost everything as well.

Sorry about your host, too. If you want to move, netrillium isn’t so bad. Well, take care!

Google’s cache of your website was for yesterday and I doubt it’s any useful. Just a thought.

That was a quick reply!

Yahoo (with their recent claim of having more page indexes than Google) seem to have a better cache of your old pages. Quick quick! Before they expire…

!!!! but some of your entries are still intact eh? better stick to a reliable host, even if it may be slightly pricey than another. it happened to me once as well, but luckily it was only a photo album. all the best in recovering your stuff.

Aww I’m sorry to hear what happened to you.. My site have never been down even once since I registered it over a year ago with Ipowerweb. But still that’s a good idea to do a database backup, I need to do it too.

what kinda host is that? don’t they do at least daily backups? geeez…

i’m one of those hardened souls who have had so much data lost due to countless reasons that these things don’t bother me anymore. like recently i lost a whole bunch of my favourite emails collected over the years. oh well, i thought. just move on.

scary right?

Oh wow, I’m soooooo sorry that that happened to you too! I just had that happen like 3 months ago!!!! Sorry that you didn’t do a database backup! I always do a full backup, so that it includes the databases also. Hehe. Anyways, good luck with all of this! I really do know how much hard work it is!!!!!! *hugs*

That sucks. -.-
It’s a hard way of learning to remember to do back ups often. 🙁
At least your entries seem more or less intact, I think it’s much worse to lose entries than other files.
I hope you’re able to recover most of the stuff!
