Server down, data lost, me gone mad and now everything back to sanity

Losing my mind

Well, this past one was one of the worst weeks for my online presence. The server went down for all we knew, data got corrupted beyond a point of recovery according to the tech support guys at Burst.Net, and above all, I DID NOT HAVE A BACKUP.

The actual downtime was noted since 22nd of July 2011, and that is about 7 days before today. A week of downtime, and a hell of a downtime.

I am one of the stupidest webmasters in the world – My last server backup was 6 months ago. o.O

Yeah, can you believe it? After all my Top 5 mistakes and stuff posts, i forgot the basic thing in life, especially an online one – Keeping frequent backups. In fact, i haven’t even taken a backup after all this issues and getting them fixed. (Will get to it, after this post. Need to put this first.)

I have a request/suggestion to all you guys – Take a backup of your entire system, NOW! Not tomorrow, not after breakfast, NOW!

I killed my sites through my stupidity.
