Luis Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Ladies and Gents, cause I did some stupid fails today and before i´m eating my mouse and keyboard I just drop my biggest fail this day. While cleaning up my home server which i´m using as local dev server for clients and doing my accounting and invoice management on, I just dropped the database which stores my 2012 Accounting. Thanks to my nervous finger. Now I have to do my accounting from last year at the upcoming weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soma Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I feel you. My biggest fail was to try find why the variable isnt populated at all.. Just to find I have added $var = ''; right before the check (mixed var name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netcarver Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You could try bit-scraping your filesystem for whatever you can get. You might still end up with nothing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the good one is a nice test of the new Script. @netcarver: thanks for this, will try it Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjen Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ouch. Write a simple cronjob which dumps all databases to a Dropbox folder - or other online service. Saved me a couple of weeks work in 2012. My biggest fail had to be working on a very extensive design for 1.5 week locally before moving it on the network drive (which runs automated backups). Then I decided to delete it since I copied it. Then I realized I was working on the network drive. The backup were about to run. I almost fainted and actuallyactually felt sick. Luckily the projectmanager was able to postpone the deadline with client. Since then I started using Dropbox and (since PW also git) so I can recover most stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I did something similar in 2011. The good thing was it was a personal project, the bad thing was it was a few months' worth of evenings that I'd lost Some evenings were more productive than others of course so I probably only lost 2 weeks of work in real terms, but it still hurts. The end result was that, since it was a ProcessWire site, I came back to it a bit later on to re-do the bits I'd lost and not only was I quicker at it the second time around I actually did a better job of it too in about 3 weeks worth of evenings. So yes, I try to backup often nowadays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 My biggest fail was I created a new universe and after seven day of hard work I was about to finish but unforunately I couldnt save it because it was too darn big it just disappeared in a big black hole... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
