Who Needs Backups When You Have Wayback Machine Memory?

31 July 2008 - 3:40pm — Dave Reid

So when I finally started to update this site, I accidentally deleted the database with all my posts. After trying to locate backups of any kind (I know... tsk tsk), searching through Technorati and Google caches to no avail, I found my new best friend: Internet Wayback Machine results for davereid.net. Behold, nearly every single page I've had on this domain since November 2005! Not sure I'll be able to recreate comments though, but I'm so happy right now I could cry.

HAH! As a special bonus, I found my first hand-coded blog from davereid.org.

And don't forget, back up your databases regularly.

LOL, awesome. Too bad about the comments -- but extra bonus on your original site layout. I remember that ... with the nasty column implementation! :D
