Database restore after db failed

The database at iBrian has been acting up recently - I had thought that a “repair tables” in phpmyadmin had done the job, but then came onto the site today to find a single post displayed - apparently everything was lost.

Anyway, I uploaded a backup, upgraded Wordpress, and all seems to be running fine now.

I know - I don’t have many readers - but anyone who is and runs a website, and/or cares about search engines, will have gotten far more tips out of the ibrian blog than you’ll ever get from most SEO blogs. :)

Seriously, just look. :D

Meanwhile, the importance of keeping regular database backups is being drilled in - I remember someone once told me they had a script that would email them a copy of a site database on a cron job - will have to get that, and set it up on my most important sites. :)

  1. I’m on of those not so many readers. You’re on my feed.

    Glad to see it’s all running smoothly now.
