It happened. My host brake down. Hard drive went bad and they lost all the data. They are restoring their backup now, but backup is from 29th. So two days of no posts on the forum ..... BUT I always knew that you have to make backup yourself and I did it after reading couple of months ago some posts on backup here on DP everyday ! and Thank you god I made backup couple of hours before brakedown. So people backup daily !!! I am off now to make cron jobs since I am going on vacation in couple of days hehe
LOL! I know what you mean. Everytime I read one of these horror stories of my server crashed, host was hacked, database was lost, etc...I always backup immediately after reading those stories.
It is horror isn't it ... I mean what to do when host is not really good and make backups only weekly or monthly even ( I heard of those ) ... Some people probably don't even do any backups themselves since hosting company states that they are doing it daily but when something happen usually there is no backup hehe .... horror YES
Hmmm it is taking the whole day for them to restore accounts and since it is reseller account I wonder if I can expect something in return for this really annoying thing now. This is quite established hosting and reseller company and I see people already demanding something in return for this in their support forum.
