Things are 95% back to normal now, just a bit of 2 posts missing and all the comments since Sept 10th :( I suggest everyone back-up EVERYTHING right <strong>NOW</strong>! <strong>moons:</strong> Yah just never expect it to happen, especially when host promises back-up. <strong>ben:</strong> There was a crash, some down-time, a complete lack of responses from the host and their support system license key expired.. <strong>Edrei:</strong> Yah will set-up a proper system this time, it was semi-manual as the host was supposed to be backing it up. It was hosted in the US too in a good data-center...and it wasn't cheap either. Oh well, I'll host it in Malaysia now with someone I trust and I'm setting up a VPS for my other sites so I can manage it myself. <strong>melvin,foong:</strong> Thanks Melvin, sorted it now. <strong>gbyeow:</strong> No worries, I ping manually :) <strong>TenthOfMarch:</strong> Yah could have been 3 years of posts...lucky only 1 month. <strong>Boss Stewie:</strong> No idea, they called it a 'cascade' failure.

It could have been a lot worse. Although I wanted to install the wp-db-backup plugin a long time ago, I have been lazy. I installed it last night after knowing what has happened to your server. Hope you get to recover more of your posts. Luckily that you still have a backup of it even though you have lost one month worth of posts. It could have been a lot worse.
