Re: "expresses sympathy for anybody without a proper backup"
Absolutely! What a numpty I've been. I was a 123 reg dedicated server customer for a number of years without incident. Then one day they erased my server by mistake thinking it was someone else's. I had no recourse and it was my fault for not having a backup; after all I was just a customer; what rights could I possibly have claim to?
So I decided to leave, but in the interim I downgraded to a VPS thinking that at least on a VPS there would be a disc image on the cluster so total loss "JUST COULD NOT HAPPEN".
Well, time went by and I didn't get round to moving everything to a new hosting provider.
You'll never guess what happened to me at 07:21 am 16/04/2016?
