Sorry Folks, Data Lost!

Last week at the request of my web host I started cleaning up my files in my directory. I was also trying to get rid of old stuff that was not in use any more. This led to me accidentally deleting my database for my blog. I have lost everything since March 2009. I guess this is a reason why you should make at-least weekly backups of your website.

I know the host could restore it for me but for them to restore my database to the prior day they were going to charge $75. While that is not a lot of money I am just not in a position to pay this price. I opted to lose the last year of posts (there were not that many anyway) and go on with life. Had this been more than my personal blog I would have opted to do the backup restore.

I am trying to pull my content from google cache and add it back into place however this does not include the comments left by users or user accounts that have been created since then.
