Images...

I could see the images folder on the server last week, I knew they were still there. I tried downloading the whole folder but it kept failing, I was praying they would survive. Unfortunately all is gone.

I am gutted about this. I was under the impression the server was backed up every night at midnight so I never saved the images folder, I did however take a database backup two days before we had the total loss. Which is how we have all our posts and members.

We have also lost avatars and plugins, it will take a while to get back to normal but at least we have the main information and all the members.

This was my final communication with my hosters (so far) .......................

Quote

Ally, unfortunately we do not have any viable backups, 2 levels of backups failed due to extremely unprecedented circumstances, all we can offer at this stage is to recreate the account afresh, my sincerest apologies for the issues caused.

Last Friday my screen showed This Website is not Private”. Etc you should close the page.
I only then started to read the MHC Facebook page, funny not to be seeing usernames.
Great to be back to forum again.
Thought today in red at top of forum page it did say “not a secure site” but I think this is because we are in a campsite with their WiFi.
I have been using mobile phone Hotspot when away from home WiFi.
