I had a host whom I had used for over a year have an outage on my server where they were down for over 24 hours. While their policy reimburses me for a month, I am still not happy.
They had to go to backups two days old for some unknown reason, and on top of that, one of my sites simply did not have a proper database back up. Unfortunately they only keep backups for a single day, so I was screwed and had to virtually start over.
This was not one of my primary sites, so I dodged a bullet, which made me realize how close to disaster I really was. If it had been one of my other sites, I would have been in big trouble.
