Lesson learned: Check out how your ISP does business BEFORE you put
valuable sites on them. Case in point. I have an ISP that I put NON-CF
sites on. This past weekend, they have hardware problems. First, their
primary RAID failed, then in the process of restoring, the backup failed
too. This in and of itself could be forgiven, BUT (and it's a BIG BUT),
they had no tape or CD backups, so every single website and everything in
their MySQL database was lost. Then, to add insult to injury, when they
rebuilt their system, they completely changed their directory structure, so
not only must you re-upload your sites, but you must also recode your site
to match their new directory structure.
Lesson here - back up your site once a week yourself and ASK QUESTIONS.
Don't assume that "backup" means "tape or CD backup".
