Yes, the old one was M3. I don't have anything nice to say about them at all, and still remain a lady.

I lost all data, mysql databases, and all flatfile databases. 11 years worth of work down the drain. It seems the backups were not being done as they were supposed to be doing, and it looks like the server monitoring wasn't either, or they would have caught the problem with the backups not being done.

Supprt there is a joke, I'm still waiting for them to answer my emails (3 at this point) with questions concerning this. They have no phone support...I have to wonder if there is a live person working there at all.

Thank goodness I still have all my original pages, and scripts, but without all the data, I'm going to have pretty bare sites for awhile. This whole thing is going to cost me a lot of money, and time to get back up & going...not to mention all the traffic I will be losing in the mean time.

Sorry to rant, but if I don't rant, I'll cry.

Thank you sweetie, I'll love you forever I'll probably be begging for sites & gallerie submits in one of the other forums later too

I was up until 2am, and back at it by 7am...it's going to be a very long weekend. I do have all my recipe, gardening, and metaphysical sites up & running on the new server..not much data yet, but I'm gonna pay my kids to help add in recipes.

I'm going to start now with the adult sites...that's where most of my scripts come in, so I will be in cgi hell for the rest of the day.

The guys at Caronet have been wonderful, Dave (the tech guy that has been working with me) is my new stud muffin He helped me today with a few problems I was having with my sql database import. That one was all my fault...lack of sleep, and food my brain freezes up. CGI I know better, it's just time consumming to upload, and install the 13 scripts I use to run everything What's going to take the longest is the banner rotation scripts...inputting all the adverts I use takes forever.

I do have one domain I won't be using if anyone is interested in doing any porn story sites. It's just sitting at directnic right now collecting dust.

Firstly, I'm sorry you had a loss....

But I'm forced to ask the obvious question.....why didn't you have a local copy backed up?

At $100 for a 1/2 terabyte external drive, it would seem a no brainer?

(I've been guilty of not having a current copy in 2003 which cost me like this)

Major blonde moment? I have them every once in awhile

I now have 3 different options for doing backups, and I can even mirror everything to my second drive if I want.

This will not happen agian!
