No, I mean it, really; I'll wait right here.

As you can imagine I was bitten by my own carelessness. No disaster recovery plan. This site was affected as was some of my source code and another website. Almost 5 months worth of data lost. The only thing that saved me was that I happened to have my source code on my Vista machine. Good thing I have Windows 7 loaded on the same machine as a VHD and did not wipe out my Vista OS. The other thing that saved me was live.com cache of this site. I had to recreate each post since August 2008, but I did get it all back.

I now have Windows operating system backups and SQL backups scheduled so I should be in a better position in the future if the unfurtunate happens.

It's just one of those things you don't think about on your home systems until it's too late.
