Hi Guys, I was trying to delete an unused ftp account from my cpanel (i made an extra ftp a/c) and while i was deleting it, i clicked on "Yes and delete root/public_html" Can i recover my data after this?? Please tell me if i can Its Really urgent! Thanks!
hey alfa thanks for the reply)! i was so worried about this thing because i deleted everything under public_html and i had no backup .. nothing!!! but fortunately, i only deleted the files.. not the sql db files.. so i uploaded my script again n connected it to my old db... phew!!! But thanks for your reply.. i have never tried that.. i was searching on the internet and i saw this trash can using legacy file manager.. but i was so pissed off/worried/mad at myself/brain stopped working lol i didn't know what to do at that time.. so i mailed my web server to give me the backup. But AGAIN i cudn't wait for their reply (LOL) so i had a 1 month old backup of my site.. i uploaded that lol.. and its working fine... although all my new posts in my blog are gone.. but lets see if the web server guy can find the backup... I'm too scared to use the trash can using legacy file manager lol .. But i got to know about the trash can thing because of this blunder.. so thts the positive tht came out of this exercise lol.. and thanks a lot for providing this info Alfa! *TO ALL YOU GUYS, NEVER DO THIS KINDA BLUNDER, IT TAKES THE LIFE OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM LOL... ALWAYS DO THINGS CAREFULLY *
Good lesson learned. I also delete lot of occassion the index files but thanks to trash can of legacy file manager. I always able to reover them. Plus good idea about the backup from the hosting company. It gives me another idea that we should also do weekly backup to our public_html on the root directory and keep. Just one click back up from the cpanel. Thanks
Yes yes!! i will remember the trash can thing whenever i do this kind of stupidity lol... yesss backups r really important. thank God i had one month old backup.. tht saved my life lol... and yes another important thing is to ask ur web server guy to give u their backup coz a good web hosting always backs up client's data. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Alfa!!!
