The Benefits of Backup
by Daniel on May.16, 2009, under Opinions, Technology
Don’t you just hate it when you lose a lot of data? I do. My webhost decided to kick the bucket and shut down. I was able to get my money back, but none of my data. So yeah, I was in a bit of trouble. That is, until I remembered that I had every single one of my blog posts backed up thanks to Windows Live Writer (which I use to write these blog entries).
Live Writer automatically saves everything you publish so restoring my blog posts was simply a matter of re-installing WordPress (the program that runs this blog on the web server) and then republishing all my blog entries! Simple!
Now I’m back up and running and you wouldn’t even be able to tell that the site has been down.
So, people, back up your files. When something bad happens to them, you know you’ll always have an extra copy.
