I host a single page site for someone. Nothing big. A photo and their email address.

They asked me to change their email address on the site. Fair game. I went to look at their site. It said "It works!" and that was all. All reference to their site was gone on my server. Okay, must have forgotten to unpack it from my backup when I reinstalled my server. But no, no copy of it in my backup either. Oh. How do I explain this - this is very embarassing.

In comes the way back machine. I quickly found that the site was last visited/changed on 16 July 2006, and was able to download it from there, and re-upload it to my server. Phew. That saved quite some embarrasment.

So, thank heavens for the wayback machine.
