The importance of backing up!
June 9th, 2007 by Ray JacksonWhat happens when you don’t back up your blog?

I learned a valuable lesson not so long ago, for those of you who are regular visitors to my blog you may of noticed it’s changed a lot (for the better i think) and has a lot less posts! this was not planned but i did something very silly. I have had this blog now for nearly a year and never thought to back it up as it’s on the net like, well guess what…
I made some changes to my main domain vwd-e-lotto, forgetting that my blog was in the directory, i told Dreamweaver to publish the whole site, even asked me if i was sure so i said yes! later that evening i come to do some admin stuff on here and low and behold I’m welcomed with “it doesn’t appear you have wordpress installed yet” please install it now…
Have a confused look on my face at this time wondering what has happened and why, then it came to me, I over wrote it myself (feels like a fool)… didn’t have anything backed up as stated so down the river that blog goes! i did get some posts from the rss feed which was lucky!

So for the next few days I had a fire under my ass getting this back up and running and with the help of a few friends who wish to remain nameless i am now back up to speed and with an added need to succeed and make this blog great!
You know who you are lover hehe!
So to conclude, backup or face the wrath and the enjoyment of doing all that work again
