07.21Unsharpmasked Down - Two months of content GONE!
Ouch! as if it wasn’t hard enough to keep up with the site, I now am 2 months short on content. If you had visited in the past 2 days you noticed the site was down. I’m not sure what happened yet, but I am thinking it was either due to upgrading to Worpress 2.6 or the site was hacked. After working on it all day today I was able to restore it from a May back-up. I have newer backups, however they seem to contain errors. I will continue to try and restore a more recent backup, but I’m nervous about messing with things, since it took me this long to get it back to where it is. I am going to explore some better back-up strategies along with some security measures. Still… I feel a little better that I didn’t lose it all.
P.S. RSS feeds may be down for a bit

Bad luck! I know from experience how annoying and time-consuming this can be.
If you haven’t already tried it, Google should have caches of your published versions.
Also, even though I have the originals of my own blogs (of course), I take periodic snapshots with Web mirroring software of how they appear when published. I use HTTrack but there are many others.

Roger,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely be doing this regularly.
