Disaster and a Painful Recovery

Last two days have been black days for tidbits and hence, me. It so happened that my list of databases grew out of bounds and I finally(why??) decided to clean them up! And I dint remember that I messed with the configuration file too and left many comments which are used for testing few things. Accidentally.. wait a minute.. I'm really pissed off saying *accidentally*, e.v.e.n after few incidents over past three years.. hmm.. yeah so, accidentally, I deleted the main database where all my posts and readers' comments are stored!! Luckily I have taken a backup two months ago in December, 2008. The later posts; I recovered few of them from drafts on my laptop and others from Google Cache(Thanks a lot guys!! and a special thanks to Ambati for pointing me to it).

Anyways, I had still a lot of work to do before actually getting tidbits with all its previous data. As per my estimation, after recovering whatever is possible, still 2 or 3 posts are missing :( May be I should stop worrying and take this to be a good lesson learnt with minor damage!
