Lost style file

Article Posted on: September 23, 2009 at 21:57

I just lost the css file for my whole website.

I was saving this css file using Coda when a nice computer crash came out of nowhere, telling me to press the start button to restart my computer.

I Restarted it. And what a nice suprise. The whole css file was gone!
I contacted my hosting service "Media72" to ask them when the last backup they did was. Once again a nice surprise. The lastest backup they did on my server was 24 days ago.

So they just lost a client. I think I'm going to work all night because the last backup I did was 5 days ago. I worked a lot on it during these last 5 days.
I guess I'm an IDIOT because I normally backup my work every night but I haven't been doing it recently.

To be continued....

Lost style file day 2 :

I finally managed to have my blog back to it old self.
If you use Coda as your editor you should use this PLUGIN it will save and backup your files if you press Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+S. ( Thanks to Pedro for this little tip. )

Now I have backed up all my files, I need to backup my databases and look for a new hosting plan! I might go with Media Temple I always heard that they have good customer service.

If that kind of thing happens to you as well, here is a nice article on how to backup your web server automatically : http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Back_Up_a_Web_Server
