Hi Everyone! Today I visited one of my websites and discovered missing pictures and files. I visited several of my websites and discovered the same problem on each.
I called my hosting company and they told me that their was a hardware failure on my server last night and they had to rebuild my system on a new server. The problem is that they used a backup dated March 2007. They are checking if they have a more recent backup to use. If they do not have a more recent backup, I will have to spend a few days (maybe more) uploading thousands of files from the past 7 months to the new server including all the aliyah pictures, terrorism memorial pictures, Ma'aleh Adumim, stamps, hotsites updates and many more. I will try and get the newest files (including yesterday's aliyah pictures) back up first. Sorry for the inconvenience if you are trying to access recent information / files from my sites. I would strongly recommend that anyone hosting a website check how their provider does backups and maybe ask for a file restore every so often to see if they are actually doing the backups regularly.
