Destroyed a whole site
danny
i badly need your help. Yesterday my pc's hard drive got damaged, and
i lost all source code of my website, which i was getting paid for the
next day. So i found a project called App File Browser, (
http://code.google.com/p/appfilesbrowser/ ) and i thought i could
access with it my source'es on my app, so i could download them.
at first, i edited index.yaml to another version, so it wouldnt
overwrite the half-working site. I accessed it, but it didnt list any
of my website's files, so i thought that if i overwrote the version i
used for the site development, it would let me pick my files.
But i was wrong. EVERYTHING is messed now. my site isnt there, and
instead, i see this damn AppFileBrowser. i have to present the site to
the buyers in MAX 1-2 days, and i have to find a way to fix this mess!
I have no idea how to do it.
Can you give me any advice?
( yeah, i now have 10KKK backs up of my pc. )

I'm sorry about your project - renegotiating the delivery date and
rebuilding it from scratch will cost you credibility, time, and
pride. But you have learned a lesson that is more valuable than all of
that.
It's too late to help you, but please, all you other guys that don't
have backups of your code - DO IT NOW. No, not after the next coffee,
NOW. And get into the habit of taking a copy home on a flash drive
every night, just in case.
That way we won't be reading your plaintive message asking how to get
your code back next week.

unfortunately, I have no idea how you could get your sources back.
I would suggest, however, that you start to use version control
especially for projects that you get paid for.
It saves you from accidentially deleting files, and lets you revert to
prior versions of your sources when you took a "bad turn".
I don't know about other VCS, but I like Mercurial very much, and
there are a few services that let you create a repository on their
infrastructure for free.
One is, for example bitbucket. Mercurial lets you commit locally any
changes you have made, and when you sync to a repository on an
independent server from time to time you should be safe from harddrive
crashes and similar events.
Sorry that I can't help you better...
Best Regards,
Jesaja Everling

Very easy.

each time you update via appcfg. To me, handling the backups on the
server side clearly makes the most sense. Amazon's Elastic Block
Store and snapshots are godsend for this.
