If you should lose all your posts, try this...

[Dave Winer]

There's a new command in the Feed menu in Radio3, that does automatically what I've been doing for people manually, it restores your posts from the backups that we're keeping.

Now, this is not something to do casually, because it's not well-tested (really hard to test this) and the data might not be complete. If everything's going well, leave well enough alone.

However it does confirm the replacement, so you can use the command to see if we have a good backup for your posts. It tells you how many it has.

Also it will never return more than 25 posts, because that's the max size of the history table.

I appreciate your work Dave, but I lost all my entries a second time and can only restore 1 from backup. So unfortunately R3 ist not usable for me at the moment.

A couple of things -- If you want I can restore your backup from yesterday. I'm guessing you haven't been posting much in the last few days, because we've been backing up individual posts for the last couple of days. If you say what your Twitter handle is (people, you should always do that when reporting problems, btw), I can do a different kind of restore from backup.

If you don't want to use it, that's fine -- your call, but my guess is that the new backup method is good. Knock wood. If it is, I'll switch over to that method of storing posts, and then we'll be golden.

you are right. I were in some kind of testing mode, so not that many post. Thanks, it is ok.
