You don’t really know what you have till you’ve lost it. That counts for many things, but also when it comes to things like images, documents etc. Note to self: REMEMBER TO TAKE BACKUP FOR GOD’S SAKE!
This morning when I was planning on installing Fedora 9, to replace Fedora 8, I thought I had everything backed up. But no. I run web/mysql server on my desktop machine, and I thought that I had backed up the mysql-files and the directories. But no. It ended up with me losing a LOT of posts on my blog (the last time I took backup was before Easter), and even worse, I managed to remove a LOT of images from our personal imagegallery. Needless to say it was pretty much a crappy day. Luckily I found out that we had the images stored somewhere else. As for the posts, bleh, I’ll just have to swallow the fact that I can’t get them back, and that I really screwed up this time. To make matters worse, I found out, after having installed Fedora 9, that Nvidia wasn’t supporting the version of the X-server it was shipped with. Just great. *shakes fist*
So back to Fedora 8 we go.
Once again, note to self:
REMEMBER TO TAKE BACKUP FOR GOD’S SAKE!
Update: A little update on this subject. I actually managed to get all of my posts back! Thank god for Google and their caching of websites. Luckily I hadn’t posted that many pictures, but I managed to get all the text back. Google, you rock!
