You can never have too many backups!

Yesterday I went to open up my website that I created in RapidWeaver and found that my site was all screwed up; I didn’t realize this until after I exported it to my server. Luckily, I was able to quickly restore what was on the server as I have a week’s worth of archives of my server in tar.gz files. However, getting the RapidWeaver file back required me to go back to the previous night’s backup. The problem seems to have arisen from the upgrade from RapidWeaver 3.5 to 3.6 where it converted the data file. A 3.6.1 update was released, but it appears I had already done my conversion before the update came out.

I had a momentary scare, but with my paranoia about backups, there was nothing to worry about. Worst case was that I had to grab the files from the hard drives I store in my safe deposit box; there were only a few web site changes since that backup.
