I got an email today:
Hello,
Unfortunately but your data is damaged un-fixable
Thank you,

Data damaged un-fixable! But I’m smart; I make backups. I found the file in my backup folder, extracted the SQL, then opened it to verify everything was fine. I only make backups every few months, but I had made one this month on the July 7th. When I do backups I backup all my websites and carefully label them and file them away on one of my hard drives, then I burn a copy of my entire backup folder to a DVD, just in case my backup hard drive dies. Sadly, this past month when I was making backups, I mislabeled one. Wouldn’t you know it had to be the one with data damaged un-fixable. The SQL file belonged to a different site, and my blog’s data really is gone.
Google cache has some of the old posts and I’ll work on moving the ones that matter which are really only two posts. This backup is from November 2008. Not much lost since I haven’t been active lately, but data loss is never fun.
