[no running today]<\/p>\n
Sometimes things happen…\u00a0 no that’s not quite honest.<\/p>\n
I received an email from our web hosting company that there were files their virus scanner picked up.\u00a0 So I got on their system and I was deleting these files.\u00a0 Some of the files were in this folder called TM.\u00a0 It crossed my mind that TM was my son’s blog which he doesn’t use any more.\u00a0 So I just threw that whole folder in the trash.\u00a0 Then I emptied the trash.<\/p>\n
Later that day my wife said, “My blog is not working.\u00a0 It is giving me a 404 error.”<\/p>\n
I wanted to crawl under my desk and die.\u00a0 I had deleted her blog.<\/p>\n
So, in hopes they had a backup, I called the tech support and they said that the database of the blog was still OK. Which meant that the lost parts were the pictures and attachments.\u00a0 And I had a backup from February when we had to move the blog to a different server. I restored the February backup and spent some time in the evening getting most of her pictures restored from other sources.\u00a0 There are still some pictures I haven’t found yet.<\/p>\n
That feeling of realization, that I’ve really messed up and I may not be able to fix it; I don’t like that feeling.\u00a0 I haven’t had it very often.\u00a0 Given what I learn in church on Sunday mornings, I probably should have that feeling more often then I do.\u00a0 It’s the grace of God that covers a lot of my mistakes and ineptness and just downright rebellion.<\/p>\n
Update:\u00a0 I wasn’t able to find all of the pictures and things. I got most of it back but not all.\u00a0 The web provider will do a restoration to July 11th for a one time charge of $70+ dollars.\u00a0 So we’ve decided to do that.\u00a0 And we have added the slightly extra-cost option to our hosting plan to have regular tape backups of the site and blogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
