Although I am more or less up and running again after the Needhost bankruptcy (just 2 months blogposts lost), there are those less fortunate.
One of my very close friends lost his wife’s blog (not popular), but he pointed me to this blogpost that may be of interest to former Needhost customers;

Let’s hope for a small miracle this Christmas 
In the Early days of Christmas 2008 my old hosting provider declared bankruptcy and switched off their servers, or rather switched off their servers and then leaked information about their bankruptcy..
So as a man with a FULL backup of his site cough cough, I went to a new provider and reinstalled my backup.. Hmm, but well as you may see I missed a few months of backup :-/ bummer..
But I will try to restore some of the missing posts from memory and from google cache, and well take a new look at my backup routine 
Meanwhile, hope you all had a merry Christmas and wish you a blast of a new year
Happy holidays.
Mike
Ps. Note the irony in that the last post from my backup actually regarded backup.. Someone sure had it in for me

Paragon now offers a free (only for non commercial usage) version of their Drive backup software (Drive Backup 9.0 Express) a Ghost like product, I have not tested the product myself but Paragons products are usually very high class so I would suspect it to be good.
