Hawk...

1. He never said he was doing windows
2. System Restore doesn't restore files

If he ask him to delete it then surely it has to be on his pc correct?  Well not entirely true but I know for a fact that my pc's all restore the files as long as they are on the desktop and in the system files, like programs, windows, ect.

--- Quote from: Dartful Dodger on July 06, 2007, 06:09:58 pm ---Call your web provider, they may periodically make backups in case they lose a server.  It might be from a couple of months ago, but it could be better than nothing.

Good luck.

I asked them if they can restore it to a past backup.. I guess I'll see what happens.


--- Quote from: ChadTower on July 06, 2007, 04:26:54 pm ---Setting a backup strategy isn't enough.  You have to test your restore process as well.  Without proving your backup is good and you can use it as needed you have no way of knowing that you actually can recover lost data.

Will definitely be making sure of this with every venture from now on. 


--- Quote from: SavannahLion on July 06, 2007, 04:28:29 pm ---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.

Now that I'm back home I'm going to continue looking for it... It's very much possible, so I'm crossing my fingers..


--- Quote from: johnperkins21 on July 06, 2007, 04:45:52 pm ---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.

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.

Will do and Will do.  :)

Thanks a bunch man... I'm copying all that stuff right now.




Thanks for the support, everyone... When I initially realized that I was utterly screwed, I just started laughing at how ridiculously perfect it was... It just made sense that after all that work (and when I was about to start writing a new post after about a month of dormancy), I had to f**k it all up.
