Well, normally I'm a fairly easy going guy, but this has me absolutely wild! It's happened twice before, and now it's happened again. Some friggin' $%@^#&* hacked into OutdoorFrontiers.com and bombed the site! I think I could cheerfully beat on this person until they were a pulp!

I emailed the support people at the web hosting service as I knew they did routine and regular backups of all their client's sites. I was told that they evidently backed up my site right after it was hacked, and that the new (and now useless) backup overwrote the previous one!

And to make matters worse, the external drive that I had the site backed up to has for some reason decided to puke. I've taken it to a computer tech to see if he can retrieve the data but he said "Don't get your hopes up." He did say that if he couldn't get to the data, he wouldn't bill me for his time. I guess I should at least be thankful for no bill if there's no data....

What's wrong with people anyway that they have to trash others work?????

Steve I have been lucky, but I also have three separate backups of my web site, two on hard rives and 1 on DVD, and I am thinking of doing a complete site back up on my server in a separate hidden file.

Another place where your site might be backed up is on your own browser's history, where you visited your own site with your browser
