Disaster Recovery

Patch 4.3.4
Updated during Patch 5.2.0
You may have noticed that the site has been unavailable for several days. This happened due to a corrupted disk in the server, combined with a corrupted backup. I’ve spent the last few days trying to recover as much data as I can, and unfortunately it wasn’t much. I was able to recover all of the guides, but all of the previous posts, all comments, and most of the images have been lost. I will be reconstructing what I can as I am able, so please pardon the mess; I have several other sites I have to recover as well, and they won’t be quite so easy.

Patch 4.3.4
I was honestly worried when I noticed the site was down!
Glad to see it back up
You’ve been a huge inspiration & you have such awesome guides! I am about 1k rep away from Insane!
Good luck getting everything back up and in order!

Patch 4.3.4
Thrilled to see the site back in any form! Started on my 3rd Insane title character and was dismayed when I came to refresh my mind on the process and thought you were gone!
Thank you Raimondas for all your hard work on this site

Patch 5.0.5a
Oh dear! That is some disaster! My favourite post ever by you is http://raimondastheinsane.com/2010/08/24/2000-gold-at-level-10/ , 2000 Gold at Level 10.
Fear not, all is not lost. Your site was trawled by the way-back when machine, and the text of this particular post is still to be found at http://web.archive.org/web/20100924182428/http://raimondastheinsane.com/2010/08/24/2000-gold-at-level-10/
I hope you can recover more of your posts from the archives of the way-back machine, and restore the site to its former glory.
