That's a too bad experience. I host for other people as well, and my practice is to keep three of the copies I mentioned and restore them without any charge. But I DO advise people to make their own backups with mysql dumper for the databases http://www.mysqldumper.de/ and hardcopies on their own hard disk of the rest of the site.

Hi Henny Savenije, I think the practice differs from webhost to webhost. I was once asked to pay US$28.75 to restore a backup (without guarantee) by my previous webhost, Siteground. Apparently, they kept 2 daily backups at any one time. The two backups turned out to be corrupted and yet, they said I still have to pay.

On most cPanel servers the server makes a daily, weekly and monthly backup. If you're on a cpanel server ask them to replace first the daily copy and if that doesn't work the weekly and so on.

Oh dear... guess you need to restore a copy of your database backup. The webhost is not responsible, so there is practically nothing much you can
say
to them. If you don't have a copy, check with them as fast as possible as they may have a temporary backup which is replaced daily. If you wait too long, they may have replaced their backup with the latest corrupted copy.

Hi, I have an error on my own wiki http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro. The
error
appears in 2 cases http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Lonelypagesand http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Deadendpages. You can see
the
version of the soft used http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Version .
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in
the
software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "1104: The SELECT would examine more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows; check your WHERE and use SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 or SET SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE=# if the SELECT is okay (localhost)".
My wiki is hosted and I don't know what to say to host in order to eliminate the error.
