Server Outage, Lost Posts
October 5th, 2008
Hey, just writing a quick note to inform you that my server suffered from a hard drive failure. Although mostly everything was recovered from backups I seem to have lost a couple of posts from October. While this isn’t a big deal for me because I have other means of recovering the lost content (if it works), but it makes me wonder how others deal with disasters. The site was down for a lot longer than I would have liked but it was out of my control, so there was nothing I could really do. Once everything was restored I still had to reset all the database passwords as the backups did not save these. It is something that I will think about and hopefully implement a fix for before the next disaster.
