Mysql restore

Filed under: — Mark @ 1:02 pm

I made a terrible boo boo with my MySql server and lost all my posts and links and everything for a few minutes there. My own backup script came to the rescue!! I was so glad that I had tested it on my own blog! In the process I found some errors in the code and am in the process of fixing it and creating a restore procedure for it. You will notice a couple of posts and a couple of comments missing. I apologize if they were yours. However, while the blog was gone I had a tremendous feeling of loss and emptiness. A lot of my time and effort goes into programming this blog and learning the code (for professional interests, but time nonetheless) and I LOVE backups! As soon as I have the backup and restoer script tweaked, I will post a link to it on here. Again…Happy Holidays!

  1. Mark,
    Nothing like a near-disaster to make you appreciate your own hard work! I’m glad to hear that your script saved your butt. I’m looking forward to seeing it!

    Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
