Rebecca, You're right that we can't totally depend on automated systems. I always do a manual backup whenever I make major changes, and I have a copy of the theme files on my hard drive and replace them if I make any changes in theme editor. I also don't replace old backup files with the new ones so I have several backups on file at all times. If the latest one failed, I can use an earlier one. Although the most recent posts and comments would be lost, everything else should be there. Checking periodically to be sure the backups are complete is a good idea.

Automating the process as much as possible is a great idea, Lillie! But sometimes automation isn't fool proof. It is a good idea to check at least once every month or two that the backups have completed correctly and that all your information is secure. There is a security and comfort in knowing your information is safe. Rebecca Laffar-Smith´s latest blog postDirection: Google Maps Can’t Help Me!

Rebecca, I use the WordPress Database Backup plugin to automatically back up WordPress once a week, and I do a manual backup if I make major changes. I store a copy on my hard drive, and that gets backs up online when my hard drive is automatically backed up daily. Lillie Ammann shares: Dream or Destiny and the Kindle

Thank you for your support! She’s processed the devastation and actually come to the decision to cut her losses. She had been moving away from those two sites and taking a new direction already so this was an opportunity to evaluate what she really wants to invest her time in.

I suppose that is the other lesson. When tragedy strikes, look for the silver lining. There may be a purpose the universe has for you that. It’s time to evaluate what you truly want from your life and discard anything that isn’t taking you toward your goals.

Oh no! I'm sorry for what happened to your friend. I hope things get worked out. It's scary the things folks can do... Amy Derby shares: Netiquette Rant #409 (or, Introducing the Cut-the-Crap-o-Matic)
