Freaking April
blog April 1st, 2008
Last night around 10.30pm, while checking my blog, suddenly it went BLANK!
It was saying something like my DATABASE is missing!!!
Ooooo boy… sound really SERIOUS!
I was so freaked out!
Earlier in the afternoon, I was checking on how to backup my database. I found the tutorial and tried login to my account. I’ve seen the interfaces but I did not proceed with the backup.
The ugly part is, I have not backup anything from my blog since I build it in July 2007… that’s why it really made me freak out.
I tried this and tried that, but still the same error message!!!
I calm down myself and pretend it’s not happening… I don’t want to hit the panic button.
Luckily, after like 20 minutes, the pages started appearing but very slow. I believe this error must not be coming from my blog… it must be caused by my hosting service provider… maybe they were restarting the servers.
It gets faster and faster until past 12am… pheww… it’s back to normal now 😀

I am getting paranoid too – been making weekly wordpress database backups done auto and email to a gmail acct (done via a wordpress plugin), and so far did two full backups of everything via cpanel, but havent worked out how to automate this so that i will do it automatically.

One thing is, backup regularly is a must or preferably daily. I learn it the hard way, when I lost a few posts. Lucky it was just a few posts. Imagine if I lost a few hundred or all posts?
if u lost all… it’s like u lost all your memory… 😆

Swordie: the website of the plugin I use to do the database backup is: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/
But the problem with it is precisely: it only backs up the database, and not the code, images, other files etc. Have to use cpanel for that.
Thanx dude… well, as long as the database is backup, it should be OK… the copy of the files should be on your pc already… uploaded from your PC wat…
