Do you have a web site ? ... Did you ever lose the full content and all back ups - how to recover an entire web site of data when all data appear lost

Do you have a web site ?
and did you ever lose the full content and all back ups
leaving you with nothing at all
because your host crashed and you had no back up ?
and now ?

go to the web archive at
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
The Internet Archive Wayback Machine contains approximately 1 petabyte
of data and is currently growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month.

then look up your site
and if your site was of any importance
then you find a mirror in the web archive - may be a few weeks or months old
but at least a point to start

then
go to the forum there
and ask for an offer for a complete mirror - it may be around 50US$ -
more or less - depending on size of your site

it may safe you many times more than the few dollars charged for this
valuable emergency help

and

did you ever remember long time ago to have had a nice page
and you lost all your copies but would love to have that old page up again ?

then again - this time for free - just search in the Wayback machine
with currently some 30 billion web pages for your domain,
then surf the old version you look for and "safe page as ..."

new to me at least is the mirror of http://www.archive.org

http://archive.bibalex.org. the Internet archive at the New Library of
Alexandria, Egypt, mirrors the Wayback Machine
it seems way behind - but may be will eventually catch up in case
archive.org needs a back up

remains the question
how much would archive.org webmaster have to pay for a full back up from
http://archive.bibalex.org

may be a few tera-$
;-)

love and bliss
