EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING on my server just dissapeared! I have no idea what happed, it was all there then _poof_ its all gone… hundreds of files… I dunno what the deal is… I can still FTP to it, but it is like it is blank!!! WTF just happened. I am totally stressed, Im in the middle of 4 huge projects right now - this could kill me. Ok trying to calm down - just a problem at the hosting Co… just a problem at the hosting Co… :puzzle: :puzzle: :crying: :crying: ---

Man that sucks. I know the feeling of that. I’m sure everything will be just fine :). Someone will pop out and tell you how to retrieve all of it :D. ---

Your hosting company may have backups that they can restore for you, so you may want to ask them 🙂 ---

first rule when you are using a computer "back up everything" 🙂 thats why there is something also known as a CD or a Floppy ---

I have everything backed up - external 160 gig USB drive for my laptop! 😉 But it would be the biggest pain in the arse to FTP it back and reorganize it, plus I am sure that I dont have 100% of the same files/versions in my back ups! ---

:sigh: If you have some of it, upload it and make sure you have it on the FTP at least. Don’t whine around when you have 4 projects :P. ---

yeah… just found out what the problem is… kinda my fault, although the host Co didnt send me a heads up email (or at least I didnt get one)… I recently moved out of state, so my billing address they have on file no longer matches the new one for my C.card ! doh!! This is lame, everything is shut down until accounting can deal with it in the morning. Well at least it wasnt what I was fearing. Phew!! Peace ---

Whew… I thought that all your files were lost from the server. Good thing it all worked out for you. 🙂 ---
