<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I echo everything Derek said. Hard
drives can and do die. Laptops get lost and stolen. <br>
<br>
For websites built in WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and similar
content management systems (CMSs) there are usually tools
available to do automatic backups of both the files and the
database. Make sure those are in place, and are backing up to one
or more separate locations other than just to the web server where
your site lives. <br>
<br>
Also it is absolutely critical these days to keep your CMS and all
its themes and plugins up to date. A majority of the updates
include at least some fixes for security issues which have been
discovered. Once those security issues are known on the internet,
hackers immediately start looking for vulnerable sites. <br>
<br>
We've seen so much hacking activity in the past year that we've
started offering monitoring/updating services for WordPress
sites. Prevention is so much easier than rebuilding!<br>

Very sorry to hear about these problems, Bruce. I hope for the
best for your rebuilding and restoring the library. Hopefully,
the Roman and Egyptian navies will not come into conflict over
your site, as they did in Alexandria.

<div class="">This sad event could also serve as a good reminder
to all of us to establish a good backup system for our own
computers, and check to see that the backups actually work.
It’s cheaper and easier to do good backups now than ever
before. A robust system should have at least one local and one
remote backup. </div>

<div class="">Not everyone is comfortable with cloud backups, but
they do offer a level of redundancy, accessibility, and
isolation from local events that none of us could match with our
personal resources. If you have any interest in cloud backups,
I’d like to recommend one cloud backup company for your
consideration, Bruce, and everyone else. I have no financial or
personal link to this company, but I have been following them
for years, and they are outstanding in their honesty,
transparency, and innovation. They also provide some very
interesting information and training materials, which are
accessible whether you are a customer or not. In my view, the
cost is reasonable, at $50-$60 per year for an individual or
small business. I think plans at that level would cover a site
like Bruce’s, but he might need a higher tier of service. The
company is Backblaze, Inc. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div class="">My personal backup system is to have two separate
versioning backup disks (using Time Machine, on the Mac). One
of them is constantly connected to my computer, and the other I
update every few days. I also maintain two bootable clone
backups (using Carbon Copy Cloner), which I store in different
locations. It takes a little time and attention to keep my
updates current, but it sure feels good when a disk or computer
crashes, or a backup is corrupted. </div>
