Disaster
Posted Jun 24, 2006 in
Turns out the database backup plugin that I’ve been using for Retrorocket doesn’t actually back-up the actual article content of the site. I found this out after doing a test restore of the database dump. OK. I’ve got a backup from PHPmyadmin. From January.
I’m going to look on the bright side, though. It’s time for a real spring-clean of this site’s underlying architecture. I’m finally mostly happy with the actual design, so don’t expect it to change too much. Maybe. Sigh. I’m still a bit gutted, though.
This sort of thing is pretty much the reason I tolerate Blogger’s shortcomings – they do all that app/server/db/backup stuff. I just log in!
