We can restore it, we have the technology
You may have noticed that this website has been acting all kinds of funky lately. I don’t know if it started when I upgraded to WordPress 2.6 or if it was happening sooner, but what I do know is the homepage failed to load and in its place was the articles page. I looked at it for a few days, had the support desk at Dreamhost look at and neither of us could figure it out. I made a note that when I had some free time I’d look at it further and figure out what was going on. Well, instead of looking into it some more, I decided to delete all the files from the server and start fresh - well sort of.
I keep backups of all my posts and pages, thanks to the WordPress Database Backup plugin and I was able to extract the tables for my pages and posts and lose everything else. After an hour or so uploading files and testing to make sure everything looked ok I’m more or less back to where I was a week or so ago. I never have been big on backing up files, partly because I hate to do it and with the WordPress Database Backup plugin I don’t have to - it runs once a week and emails the SQL file of my database tables. It couldn’t be simpler and I couldn’t be more happy.
There are a few things that need fixed (like the contact form below) but for the most part I’m back up to where I need to be and I like it like that.
