| LOST ENTIRE SITE. **UPDATE: BACK UP!** |
| << < (2/5) > >> |
| SavannahLion:
Is it possible that WP might not have saved your backup as an XML, even though you specified it? What I mean is, is there a possibility that your file was saved as a .zip, .tar.gz or even without an extension? XML files are on the beefy side and some server side scripts will usually default to compressing backups before sending them. |

um there is this thing called windows system restore, go back a day or two and your files will be right back in there place. Hawk |

Do a search by date instead of looking for a specific file type/name. SavannahLion might be correct that it's in a different format. I just checked the wayback machine for you, and didn't find anything. And for future reference, instead of deleting those files, you may want to just copy them into another directory in case something goes horribly wrong. If the upgrade fails you want to be able to quickly get everything back. No help to you now I know, but you don't want this to happen again. |

I feel your pain! I used to have a yahoo homepage. One day I went to go to it and it was gone. The whole site wiped out. I started inquiring and reading the fine print here and there and come to find out that if no one visits your site in 6 months or you don't make any changes to it for 3 months they just wipe it out. Granted I hadn't been there or done any updates for a while but they could have warned me so I could back it up or something. It was just gone. I had it for years. Even before yahoo when it used to be geocities. It does suck! Encryptor |
