Recovery takes time

Ok… So at 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning Network Solutions deleted my database. That was all well and good. They notified me last week that they would and I had moved my site to ICDSoft.

There was just one problem. Even though I had moved the site, the configuration file was not updated so I was still pointing to the database at the old host.

Nightmare!

It took until tonight to get the site restored. To December 27, 2007. From there forward it will be one post at a time. It’s going to be a long weekend.

I had a later backup but I’ve lost it. Long story. Have I mentioned that I always learn lessons the hard way?
