I was backing up WordPress, using the backupwordpress plugin. It got hung up on a file name it felt was too long, so I canceled the backup.<\/p>\n
Or I thought I did.<\/p>\n
This morning, in trying to fix it, I have somehow wiped the contents of this blog, or at least, it\u2019s now in a place I can\u2019t find it.<\/p>\n
The blog that goes to this plugin has been inactive for two years, and I can\u2019t find an email address for the plugin maker.<\/p>\n
So there you go.<\/p>\n
Fucked up beyond all recognition. Nice start to my Saturday.<\/p>\n
UPDATE as of last night: Obviously, I\u2019m still here. Linksky<\/a>, my fabulous host, saved my bacon. It seems that the backupwordpress plugin<\/a> not only caused me great consternation, but a whole lot of people across the server I share with them. I was told, in no uncertain terms, never ever ever to use that plugin again. Furthermore, that I need to start using the CPanel backup utilities, not the WordPress ones (excluding, I\u2019m going to assume, the export function.) So I\u2019m sharing that advice with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was backing up WordPress, using the backupwordpress plugin.
